When you do think you can start betting in sportsbook again?

[bittraffic]

Basketball seem not possible yet. Sports event attracts crowd so much and if one Covid victim mix up the crowd, everyone could caught covid too before they even go home to their family members.

One sports production UFC of Dana White took the risk. There's still MMA every weekend despite the Covid risk if this is the kind of sports you watch then you can bet on it. Everyone I guess had noticed Tokeweed's UFC thread where they update us of the games.

[bisdak40]

For boxing and basketball, June will be good month according to the industry analysts. There will be several other esports next month, so I doubt June will be worse than this month regarding gambling opportunities. Anyway, there is always some live event awaits on the corner of the site for gamblers.

For betting in the NBA, i think it's safe to say that in July, probably we could already bet on NBA games as the rumors of resuming basketball is on a high gear. For boxing, Bob Arum is cooking something to the fans of this sweet science. He will bring back televised boxing next month and the plan is that it would be in a crowdless arena first. They may be copying the template of what UFC have done few weeks ago in Florida.

Bottom line and my fearless forecast, we can start betting in June and it would be in boxing.

[chaser15]

The sports that I like to bet when sports will resume.

1) PBA (our local basketball organization)
2) NBA
3) Boxing especially on popular boxers.

Oh, we've in the same sports after all. Obviously, when the time that they are all resumed, that's it. I can freely place my bet.

Same here also. There is no difference before and after on what sports will I place my bet.

As long as it resumed, I will do my usual betting like before.

In the Philippines, there is humor probably next month, but it is limited only for those person-to-person sports events. They must go under 14 days quarantine and it can be done by their private indoor. This might Explain very well, EXPLAINER: When can sports resume amid coronavirus pandemic?

That is possible as I mentioned in my other thread, games like chess, badminton, bowling, billiards can be play without a need of its usual audience.

And there are still lots of games that can be played without much physical nor close contact.

And there are still lots of games that can be played without much physical nor close contact.

Such as, online games.
1. CS:GO
2. DOTA 2

If I am not wrong there are ongoing tournament/competition at CS:GO, I just haven't checking it if it's available in sportsbook, but many popular have it (I know).

[harizen]

1) PBA (our local basketball organization)
2) NBA
3) Boxing especially on popular boxers.

Those on your list are the usual sports I've always betting on.

1. NBA is now in preparation for their comeback. There is a high chance that the league will resume in a few months. Guidelines is expected to announce a few days from now.
2. PBA is also observing the situation and will announce their decision in August if they will resume the season.
3. As for boxing, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum announced that they will begin fights next month.

And as far as other sports league, some are also in preparations for their comeback. Sportsbetting sites will surely be back again on their usual activity this year. But I hope that while they are slowly coming back, the spread of the virus will now be slow too. I want to see our usual normal soon, not the new normal.

Right this is over the news and I think they are tackling in the issue right now on how to adopt in new normal so that they can successfully open up the league also the match, provably in upcoming months we will see them go live as Manila is underway to go ecq since most of the mayors agree to it, Hopefully they will be successful for that plans and no another wave of covid cases so all things will be consider.

Well, I didn't stopped betting even during pandemy. There was still some football leagues running like Belarus or Nicaragua. So, I was betting on it sometimes, because I really missed sports betting. And now when Bundesliga returned, it's such good feeling when you can watch top level football and bet on it. There is quite many football already running, so there is some options to bet on. I just can't wait until La Liga will return.
1. PBA is Philippines league, right? If yes, I have no idea how much Philippines were affected by virus, so I won't answer it.
2. I would predict that Nba will return somewhere in July.
3. I haven't folowed what's going on in boxing lately and don't know when major events were scheduled to happen. But I think in June we will see some events returning.

Overall pandemic situation is not getting lower actually. We are at the last stage of first wave only and second wave is on the way. I don’t think in this kinda situation affected countries will take extra risks to start sports on their region rather than keeping everything paused as it is for next couple of month. Already WHO declared that after europe covid19 gonna massively spread on Africa and Asian territory where large number of people will get affected for sure. Already its started and most concerning thing is that it can reverse to other countries like it did from China to all over the world.

Definitely corona virus will stay longer than we are expecting and results will be massive if people don't follow proper guidelines which are provided by their government.       

It's getting better, not as fast as we would like, but it's fact, just look at charts. And second wave - it's just predictions. Nobody can guarantee that it will happen. Or if it will happen, nobody knows how serious it will be. For me sometimes it feels that all talks about second wave are made to keep people in fear.

[famososMuertos]

The situation, despite the covid 19, requires adaptation, quarantine was the defense method and in some ways has been effective, but stopping contagions at zero became very difficult in practice in the short term, so it is required An adaptation in the way of life but with social distancing.

Sports are going to start in a phase without an audience, in that sense soccer, the NBA golf sports that are registered as the main ones to start in the short term, but in the case of the NBA the main theme in a At the beginning it was to cancel the season but the economic damage would be greater, so they are looking for ways to save the season, which is why if it becomes official they plan to start by the end of July, taking ESPN Wide World of Sports* as the venue for all the teams, but even this may change in the coming days.

Boxing I follow only in the big events or big fights and this sport in that sense is perhaps one of those that could expect a great fight next year, of all the sports in the so-called top 10 in which boxing is found, I don't see how a great "fight without an audience" can be performed, come on it can be done, but the essence of the public in any sport is really essential but in boxing it is very fundamental. I think betting on a great event and with great boxers they will have to wait for 2021.

In general, July-August is seen as the beginning of some of the main sports and, consequently, sports betting.

At least we are hearing a lot of positive rumors next month, the world just can't stop because of the pandemic, otherwise our economy will more suffer in the long run, with a new format and a good measures in place, I am confident we will soon sports will resume soon.

[Questat]

Waiting for NBA to resume, just NBA because this is the only league that allows me to bet on a daily basis, of course a game that I know very well.
Hoping to see the playoffs soon too, hopefully Amazing things will happen as that is what NBA is.

with the news that US has already found the vaccine and developing it already, this is a go signal that they will loosen a bit.

as to when, maybe next month, I'm very optimistic. 

[GreatArkansas]

Lot of sportsbook nowadays got lot of traffic even some sports are postponed since we still have some eSports.
But for me, maybe there are some people who already switched to some eSports after some sports got postponed due to this pandemic covid 19.
Just like me, I got to used to bet on some eSports game, so I am not so affected of the some sports being postponed.

but i heard some dota matches or some match related to esports were cancelled too . being online doesnt mean that those guys play only on thier homes on thier own but they must gather  on one venue  and that venue can compose of many people such as  fans , members , staffs , etc but the one that got mainly affected is the original sports games   .  idk if when will the covid end but i can see major improvements of recovery so this means all gambling kinds will resume soon   .

[Negotiation]

Due to the effects of the epidemic, all kinds of problems have been reported in sports Returning to normal will actually restart everything again I like to play a lot and if the government allows, the game will start again. Online games are usually played for fun but match games are a lot of fun There are a lot of fans here and it is closed due to the situation but it is going to open very soon Many countries have come under control in terms of virus control It's not a rumor the situation is going to get better.

[serjent05]

We are all aware of the present situation, there's a pandemic and most of the sports are not permitted at the moment, however, with some news and rumors going around in the space, I have a feeling that sports will resume soon.

Probably it will resume soon after all the players are tested.  But the main concern here is the audience, would they operate with just 50% of the audience watching?  They may end up losing instead of taking profit from the sold tickets.

The sports that I like to bet when sports will resume.

1) PBA (our local basketball organization)
2) NBA
3) Boxing especially on popular boxers.

I do love to see these sports resuming again because this list is one of my favorite e-sports to bet aside from online games such as Dota 2 and League of Legends.

Yesterday one dota match from ESL's online tournament got cancelled but it rarely happens. Not all teams are playing in the same building there's still teams that play far from each other you'll mostly notice it from dota teams as they have stand ins, roster change, etc every now and then.

As long as the sportsbook would offer something interesting while other sports aren't available i'd continue gambling but not too much since most of them can be unpredictable even with the stats available.

[maydna]

We will soon to see a new normal in the next months, no matter if the pandemic still is there or not because there will be some protocol that people needs to obey if they want to go out. But still, it is a risk to go out if we don't be careful, especially if the sports event is a resume, and they allow some people to watch live at the stadium.

And if the sports event starts again, the sportsbook website or place will also begin to, and that makes people bet on their favourite teams or players. But that will be different than before which some of the events will not have an audience. Perhaps, in some countries, the government will allow people to come to the stadium to watch the match.

[iv4n]

With poker, especially our bitcointalk championship https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5245365.0, with other games I totally forgot about sports betting. I don't watch tv much, so I don't catch much news about current events in all sport competition (football and basketball are the most interesting for me, European). As it seems some started with trainings, they are discussing how to continue, but for now there's nothing specific. Probably I will wait more before I get involved with sports betting again.
Until then, we can have fun with many other gambling games. I know I do, and who like to play poker should join us, we can play poker together and have fun!

[danherbias07]

I think it will be longer with contact sports like this.
NBA might even take longer since the number of positive Covid19 patients is higher in USA.

Although they already letting practices to happen, when it comes to the real game it will be difficult since they will be in contact with other players and sideline personnel.

For the vaccine got failed provably that will be happen their hopes cut when this news came WHO suspended hydroxychloroquine trials and might the whole physical sports will get affected with this since the Covid-19 still hitting on, And I truly believe that there's no game gonna happen once theirs no vaccine produce. Maybe next year we can see the action again and lets hope for it.
