CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING

[KTChampions]

It is a guess based on some analysis, usually when one bookmaker states one team to be favourite or one boxer to be favourite then usually others follow suit (and so on). I wish I had statistics to back this up but as of now I have none.

Did you check this or is this your guess? There were times when I tested the effects of probability theory on bookmakers and carefully studied bets. To my surprise, almost all the odds were almost the same (except for minor differences).

It seems to me, even without statistics, it can be assumed that the odds have minimal differences from the bookmaker to the bookmaker. If it were otherwise, then betters would easily make money by looking for the most profitable odds for all the outcomes of the same match in different bookmakers. As a result, they would always make win-win bets and gradually ruin the bookmakers.

Sports events are starting to resume again after months of lockdown, so does sports betting. It may be different from the normal events we are used to, but it's still good that some organizers are now trying to prepare for sports events. The pandemic may have affected sports betting but since we're now at the restarting phase, we can slowly see sports betting again. Following protocols are always there since we now have to practice new normal.

Well, it's really an opportunity for online casinos since most gamblers were left with no choice but to gamble online.

That's true. The gamblers will have the opportunity to place the bets in the sports games, and they will be happy to see their teams are in the match again. Sports events need to have the protocols in this pandemic, and the organizers should concern about the sports players before they play the games.

The online sports betting will try to attract the gamblers to visit on their site, and perhaps, the sports betting site will use another bonus to invite those gamblers and remind them that the site still online after the pandemic. I think sooner or later, and the sports betting site will have the income after they cannot make money from the sports industry.

Despite the effects of the coronavirus on gambling everything is set to resume soon However, the impact of online gambling has increased due to the virus In the meantime, we should avoid visiting sports sites. If everything returns to normal we will be able to re-inspect the field and bet It is safest to stay at home during this epidemic But those who love gambling are more inclined towards online gambling than sitting at home.

Each test performed must be accurate for the participants of the game as well as those involved in the event. They should also avoid going to or visiting places where there is a critical or confirmed case. So they have to stay in their home court first and the only league they can do now. Here we are, again with new cases due to travel authorization and also because of irresponsible people.

In such events for the players there should be schedule like after the game or event is done for the day they should just be in their hotel rooms.

Lunch/Dinner etc it would be served in their rooms so that they do not have to come down and just avoid meeting as less number of people or spots for their safety and also for others.
Players would not be allowed to meet to any fans or the family members for the time being should not be included. I assume this would already be in place.
Press conference can be conduced virtually for the time being.

It has to be organized that way as expected social distancing must be to minimize the spread.

UFC fighter Burns was tested positive just recently. He was supposed to fight for the main event but it will be postponed. It should worry Dana now for all the sparing partners and the team who mingled elbow to elbow with them.  The virus had probably infected more UFC fighters already.

It is still very dangerous and we know that the virus does not choose who it will target. Even if you say you are healthy and no symptoms appear to you but you do not know that you are a carrier, you can, still infect someone else. And what if you come in contact with a weakened immune system, that's when it starts to spread again.
Just like wrestling, it can't be too tight or cluttered, so closed contact can't be avoided. So it is no wonder that the next fights will be suspended due to the case.

We hope to continue the vaccine using german technology and be successful.

In the meantime, we should avoid visiting sports sites.

No one will allow you to visit sporting events if you don't have any permission or you don't have to do something important within the area. Only authorized people will be allowed to be present on those events for streaming purposes and other staffs that will be working for the management.
So as a typical fan, I doubt it that there will be people who will be allowed by a management or even close to the team that will play.

If Trump can get the go-ahead for a rally speaking to a half-filled arena of c.10,000 people when the capacity was c.20,000 then by that logic sports events should not be restricted but the fact of the matter is look at what happened the Tennis tournament in Serbia went ahead which was organised by Djokovic in June 2020. He, his wife and several players as well as several spectators including a pregnant woman became infected. He flouted the social distance guidelines and went to nightclubs with fellow professionals (as the videos showed) and the tournament met a swift end.

Life still goes on and as time goes on we will adapt until we find ourselves closer to the life we had before COVID-19.

Slowly and slowly as more and more sports events start taking place, betting will increase. There are many people that place bets on sports events without evening having an interest in that particular sport as odds are available for many aspects of the game (goals scored, sent off, total corners etc).

I am worried about the impact the lock down has had on vulnerable people that might have started gambling and turned it in to an addiction.

I am also glad that in many countries once again started to allow the conduct of sports matches. This will show people that they need to stop being afraid and get used to living the same life.
Don't worry about dependent people. They never stopped playing. Some of them played in online casinos, others played in illegal casinos.

It probably will take a long time until sport events will be back to normal. As long as the corona numbers are so high, it would be completely reckless to open up the big stadiums again. Fortunately for sports betting the impact is not so big.

We just have to be patient and get used to watching sports only on TV for a while.

Well, people choose to gamble online instead of gambling in casinos because of the risk that they may face when they go outside and face so many people knowing that one of them can be a carrier of the virus. Online gambling has increased its popularity since the pandemic has started. There are some gamblers who can't stop themselves and they choose to gamble online.

Everything will return to normal but it will take time and probably some things will be change as we will adopt to the new normal already.

Football in various countries including England, Italy, Spain and Germany (English Premier League, Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga) are being played behind closed doors. It is a great start to returning back to normal slowly and fans will be eased back in to stadiums later.

Unfortunately, at the moment we can't be sure that everything will get back to normal as we knew it. Maybe this new normal is something that we'll have to get used to for indefinete period of time.
I hope this will not happen and I really hope that soon we could enjoy sports matches live and go to casinos and do whatever we used to do before.
Gambling online is definetely a good thing and I support that but I think that people also should have possibility for traditional gambling too.

It all depends on luck and the General epidemiological situation in the country. In my country, for example, the football championship was not stopped even in the spring. The players are safe and healthy.

Now it’s really difficult to talk about new standards and whether they will be permanent.
One thing is clear, outbreaks of viruses and other diseases have occurred before, all of which pushed the development of medicine forward.

So we always have a chance to invent a medicine of this kind that will return everything to its former places.
And if not, then online can give a powerful impetus to the development of virtual reality. What I would like least of all.

The way you talk, it seems like you are already losing hope. Come on, be positive, this pandemic will be over and will just be part of the history.
Next year, the vaccine will be release as the news says, it's not only one country that assures it but different countries, who knows, it might be release this year, so that's even a good news, for the mean time, we need to live the new normal which is a temporary state.

Gambling online is definetely a good thing and I support that but I think that people also should have possibility for traditional gambling too.

Even prior to the pandemic, I am already more fun of gambling online than going to the venue because I don't live in the city and I don't like to travel a lot.

That's good to hear but bit worried of the outcome if there are other sports organizers will follow since they see the match finished successfully even if there's pandemic best to have a more safer protocol if they pushed those upcoming games to play on so that they will not add up on the numbers of infected persons.

But let's hope experts will find the real vaccine soon so that we can see those live matches rolling on.

This new normal will not last forever, at some point either the vaccine gets discovered, produced and administered to enough people to stop the spread of the virus or the virus infects people to the point there is no else to infect, and at that point we could go back to our previous lives, the only problem is that this is not going to happen anytime soon, it will take at least until the end of 2021 so for the time being it is important to take all the precautions we can and avoid physical casinos if possible.

That's my timeline too, end of 2021. All activities will go back again in their usual.

It's not really mandatory to avoid physical casinos. People can still go there as long as they will follow the strict protocol. Businesses should go back slowly.

As for sports events that already resumed, I do hope that the management will strictly impose their protocol. Players will surely be confident in the long-run and they might ignored those protocols since they will think it's safe now.

[JollyGood]

No cure has ever been found for any of the coronaviruses so we should not be expecting a cure of COVID-19. Even the common cold is a coronavirus but no cure for that has ever been found.

Just give it time and we can see the usual normal we are used to.

Even without a vaccine, I'm sure we can graduate at the new normal. The virus is deadly in terms of spread but actually, with a healthy lifestyle, we can defeat it. Although it's really unfortunate that it can bring worst to those people who have a pre-medical situation, we just need to make sure that the our health department is doing their best even how difficult it is.

We will surely miss the sports we have been used to watch before with a large audience and so. Let's hope for the best.
