Has this period killed your desire or exited it

[BIT-BENDER]

I would be making reference to sport betting, we are in lock down period courtesy the novel corona virus pandemic.
Before this time most of us surely I can speak for myself where lovers of the sport games and also gamblers, from Epl, la Liga, Seria A, NBA, NFl and all the sport you love, and until the pandemic seems to have paused everything for now.
And they say a lot can happen with time,
So people can say they are addicted to sport gambling and they can't do with out it no matter what, am curious what would be there stand now? So would say it's just a game and I can do with out it -you don't know what you have till you lose it- will they be missing the game?
Where do you stand in all this, are you excited to have your favourite games back again or can you say that you can do with out it?

For me I would want to see the beautiful sports that units many back again and we all can live to enjoy it

[20kevin20]

I really hope the pandemic does not mean the end of sports. It's a beautiful type of entertainment and if that ends, it's gonna be pretty disappointing and sad for me. While I'm not a fanboy of any of them, I do have respect for any athlete and always enjoy watching them if a friend or relative of mine wants to.

If all these championships/leagues/matches will continue to get delayed, I guess the addicted ones will slowly try to expand their gambling coverage and move towards e-sports. They're the closest you can get to the feeling of a real sport betting experience. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do other than bet on matches being played in countries that still haven't been put under lockdown.

im not really into sports games so i dont care at all what will happen to the sport betting platform or to the sport gambler but if ever the situation affects on both sides ( online ) i think it will be hard for  me also to move on  . for now sports bettors might feel that way . they dont have a choice but to temporary do an exit but this does not killed thier desire to sports betting  but i dont know also to some , maybe the longer this crisis continue they can also forgot thier hobby.

I am not a gambling addict, but Sports betting, betting on Cricket to be exact, was always my first preference when it comes to gambling. So, if you are asking whether I am ok with not being able to bet on my favourite sport, yeah I can live with it, not a big deal. With the lack of sports betting, I nowadays play dice or card games. But if you are asking whether I am ok with not being able to watch the sport ever again because of the pandemic, No, I am not OK. Nothing is normal in the current pandemic situation. I really wish everything to gets back to normal again, especially everything that's entertaining including sports.

I already miss watching games. Back when I was still young, I used to make a bet on the strongest team in PBA. Our kind of bet does not involve money all the times. Sometimes consequences just for fun. Now I am just young at heart I still make a bet with my officemates but not often. The last bet I make is when our company held an ML Tournament. But I just lose.

I really hope the pandemic does not mean the end of sports.

What I can't imagine at all is that the current pandemic means the end for any kind of mass sports. Why? Sport has become so much more than just a sporting activity, there are entire industries behind it. If you look at the huge sums of money spent on players today, or what companies such as Sky are costing themselves in terms of rights to broadcast the games, it quickly becomes clear that something like this cannot simply disappear. But what I can well imagine is that we will experience temporary restrictions. First and foremost, ghost gameswithout spectators.

So people can say they are addicted to sport gambling and they can't do with out it no matter what, am curious what would be there stand now? So would say it's just a game and I can do with out it -you don't know what you have till you lose it- will they be missing the game?

Even if it sounds hard, there is no other choice than to give up everything that is connected with mass sports. Starting with evenings with friends where you watch e.g. EM games up to sports betting. For the latter you could go for e-sports if you really want to, but it is a completely (!) different matter ...

[Natalim]

I really love sports betting that's why I missed it, but I would tell you that I am not addicted to it.

Right now since I can't gamble on sports, I just relax and spend my time in a productive way, I'm sure the time will come that I'll start burning money again in sports but this time really gives me a time to breath and evaluate what I have done in the past, I'm just hoping when I resume gambling, I will start winning, lol.

[jrrsparkles]

IMHO, addicted sport betting gamblers already started to look for some alternatives to satisfy their gambling urge like pokers and even casino games but the one who never got addicted to it can pass the lockdown without much worrying about their gambling inactivity.

[Raflesia]

In every European league game I always do gambling because of its addiction to sports so gambling will feel empty if it is not done, since the soccer match or other sports are postponed then I slightly reduce my gambling because for other gambling in my opinion I do not convince me to Therefore, when sports gambling has not existed since this pandemic, I turned to the casino very rarely, but occasionally for entertainment at home, and even then, I felt bored.

But it's fine. I just hope the match will start in the near future. Many people will rejoice for sports aides if the match starts again.

Man I'm a huge fan of NBA and it really sucks that it's been a month I haven't watch my favorite players play inside the court. And, yeah me too, wishing that this pandemic stop asap and doctors will get us the vaccine and cure for the disease. I don't want betting on people playing NBA on their ps4s, but I'm sure this is not the end of the sports.

The best sports to watch now is the e-sports, however there are also some problems like the internet connection which we have differently every country. And also the Olympics that suppose to be happening this year is cancelled, so I think if the the quarantine ends we'll be bombarded by sports events on our TVs.

I think that this is a matter of taste. The few sports I like and follow are not e-sports.
And since it's a lot of money going on around these sports, most will continue as soon as it's safe enough, even if that means the arenas will have no spectators and everybody will just watch TV.
I'm confident the things will get back to (almost) normal in a matter of weeks, especially in Europe.

[Nadziratel]

Nothing's over, guys. We just took a break as extrem. I think that when we get through this process, I am sure that we will be more active than before. Because people have already missed their old lifestyles and activities. We are looking forward to the days that we watch especially sports events. And I'm sure after this pandemic, everything will be better. Because most om humanity will be taken his lesson.

[Baofeng]

I don't consider myself as a gambling addict, so obviously, I can just stay on the sideline and what for my favourite sports to come back so that I can make a bet again. But I would consider myself though as a frequent land base casino player, so with the lock down I can't go out and play, but the good thing is that I was able to control it when the lock down started. For my favourite sports, of course who wouldn't miss them? But all we can do is wait and let this pandemic settles down.

[pakhitheboss]

I have been in lockdown for 30 days now. I am so much frustrated for not being able to watch any games and enjoy a single day.by going out with my friends and family.

In situation like this how can I enjoy gambling therefore I am not gambling at the moment.

[Reatim]

IMHO, addicted sport betting gamblers already started to look for some alternatives to satisfy their gambling urge like pokers and even casino games but the one who never got addicted to it can pass the lockdown without much worrying about their gambling inactivity.

Even those not addicted but playing regular is also worrying now that is why they are looking for alternatives just like you said.
remember that More people use to enjoy in gambling so they are looking for that feeling.

No one says this is over mate because we are just having a break now,but after this lockdown all casinos will be filled with gamblers again and the online players will back to normal.

[bitcoinst]

There are several options. On the one hand, gambling addicts got a good opportunity to check their nerves and probably a chance to get out of addiction, because all that is needed is to wait and switch to another activity. It is likely that many will succeed. The truly sophisticated in any case will find a way out of their dependence, whether it be illegal gambling or betting on anything online.
It is important that as few people as possible go crazy as a dentist in Canada, killing 19 people. 

[rdluffy]

I was anxious to Olympic games in Tokyo and after the news that was cancelled, I lost my desire to gamble in some sports that I was looking for.
I'm totally afraid to lose money gambling because of this situation, I need to save money for my daily life, and this obviously kills any desire or motivation to gamble, can you imagina lost some money in this period?
In a few months we'll have soccer games in my country and this a good opportunity to restart gambling life, but a major event like Olympic, only next year...

[plvbob0070]

I'm not really that into sports betting but if you're a gambling addict, you will have a hard time adjusting to what's needed. In my country, some gamblers can't stay for too long without gambling so they would rather risk their health or might get caught by the authorities just to gamble. There are cases that gamblers went outside just to gamble, and now they have to face their punishment. It just shows how hard it is for them to adjust because they were used to gamble every time they want.

For me, I can stay longer without gambling because I am not addicted to it. Though it would be really fun to gamble, I would still choose to save my money for necessities. Just like you who love sports betting, we are also waiting for the time that we can now finally fo whatever we want, and gamble any time. But for now, let's hold on a little longer.

[DarkDays]

Hasn't really altered my desire to gamble in the slightest.

I rarely play at brick and mortar casinos anyway, and have worked from home for several years now. As such, the coronavirus pandemic and the resulting lockdown has only made things become more of the same.

Nowadays I simply play a few games of dice or minesweeper on crypto-games.net, or I'll run a few hands on Pokerstars.

Since my work has also seen a dramatic uptick recently, I have less time on my hands than ever before, so I really don't have the time to play as often as I'd otherwise like.

[dothebeats]

Nope, right now I'm just binge-watching several games from NBA and MLB, especially those sealed within the history of the said sports as one of the most memorable games of all time. It's actually quite amusing to watch these games again since they still give the thrill and excitement even though I already know the outcome. Once normalcy resumes in our daily loves and most leagues are also back in track, I'd definitely want to spend some money, time and dedicate my excitement towards the league I grew up to love. Perhaps we may miss a season of action in the big leagues, but once it resumes, see the grit and the eagerness of everyone to return to the playing field and play/bet their hearts out.
