"NEW NORMAL" Betting

[KTChampions]

~
But I agree, if a gambler reaches the point that they are now eager to gamble at different sports since their favorite league is suspended, they can consider putting up a bet on other sports as long as they will DYOR before risking some money.

If a person really wants, then he will find what to bet on. I know that some bookmakers accept bets on virtual competitions - i.e. such teams and championships do not exist at all except on the website of the bookmaker. But since there is such an option, apparently someone is using it, although for me it is absurd from beginning to end.

The side effects of "normal betting" and the fixed games of Belarus premier league make it a more unbeatable experience. For example, the woman soccer games on many small countries are cheated due to the lack of alternative games on live betting platforms, no goal until 89 minutes, and games finish 4-0 score. No need to finish university or become a soccer betting expert to understand this.

By taking care of our health, we can prevent the virus and face the new normal that will come to us. If we can maintain our health, we don't have to afraid to go out to buy something or take a look at the situations. And maybe we can also try to watch the game at the stadium if the situation is possible for us to go to that place. And we can also place bets on our favorite teams or players.

I agree that health comes first, that we need to be responsible and protect ourselves and others.
But I don't except the term "new normal". Why to try to convince ourselves that we have new normal situation?
If it's not going to be as it was before and I don't mean only on gambling then this is new, different situation and conditions, new social and other rules. Yes, maybe we need to accept it but we don't have to call it normal when it isn't.

I think the "new normal" will be different than what we did in the past. For example, people now wear a mask if they want to go to someplace, and they don't touch many things. If they're going to buy something, they will do it fast, without spending much time in one place because they realize that the virus is still everywhere. They will no need to stay for a long time in one place because that is too risky for them. People are often washing their hands, especially if they touch something, and they will make sure their hands are clean.

Safety first, as they say. Organizers cannot risk the health and well-being of their players and staff. Also, they don't want to risk spreading the virus in case anyone from the team's roster or staff has it. Or it may be illegal for now in some places.

Well, other countries have already started allowing team sports. It depends on the COVID situation of the specific country.

I guess you need to explore some other options if you are really bored watching old matches.

[verita1]

Totally agree! Safety comes first and taking care of our health. The sports that are being resumed are doing their best to get to the end of the matches. This new normal is not easy, let's take care of ourselves and the heroic health professionals who are bravely fighting against the coronavirus.

[Negotiation]

If we don't have a healthy body then how can we participate in the game so everyone is not playing for their own safety and has put everything on hold The situation of the virus is somewhat under control and in fact everything will be the same again. No one is able to play with risk So we have to wait until the situation returns to normal If the game is off for a while there will be no problem but if you are infected with a virus you will face a lot of damage.

Indeed as for me a boxing and basketball fan i really got disappointed when Inoue vs Casimero fight wont be happening. Also with the NBA it was the start of the playoffs and im sure Lakers could dominate the other teams especially durant and key players is GSW is out, i could earn some money there. To bad covid19 came in and ruin my predictions.

[LogitechMouse]

A normal vaccine or cure for a new strain of virus normally takes 1 year.

Gambling sites owners both Physical and Online can't wait for this time frame. They will suffer a big loss if they will just wait for this vaccine to have. Not only these owners will suffer losses but also those players of different sports that is why some sports are resuming their events.

The recovery rate right now is at 49.35% while the mortality rate is at 5.16%. A healthy body can make you not affected by this virus. If you are aware of your surroundings and always have some things that will prevent you from getting the virus then you are good to go. It is not that fatal compare to ebola or other viruses. Its just that people aren't that cautious with what they are doing even there is a pandemic.

The certainty of the vaccine is still gray.. we can't wait until the vaccine is found in order to start a sports match.  I see some countries have relaxed "LOCKDOWN" because it is no longer effective and submitted "NEW NORMAL".  I read that the English league will start again, this is the best news;

BRING IT ON Premier League fixtures in FULL: Dates and kick-off times for remaining 92 games of 2019/20 season

billions of dollars have been lost (betting, broadcasting rights, tickets, and merchandises) because sporting events have been postponed waiting for vaccines to appear. sports matches without spectators must be done (to support "NEW NORMAL" & and slow the spread of COVID-19)..

I was very bored watching the old football match and then repeated so on and so on sports TV stations .  so that the "stay at home" program is effective, entertainment (sports matches) must be continued..

The losses from the past lockdown is high but we know how big the profit in this league so basically they can recover the losses
 in just a 1 year operation so let us not make this a big issue.
what is important now are those games that will be covered so the league will come to normal again though i doubt of having
 live audience yet enough even to watch in online live telecast
 or Pay Per view.

Indeed as for me a boxing and basketball fan i really got disappointed when Inoue vs Casimero fight wont be happening.

Inoue and Casimero fight maybe floating now but lets see sooner if they will be facing again as the promoter will be looking for
another bout that will surely watch by many people not only from countries of
 the two fighters.

That's alright mate, everything can be surpassed and will be normalized soon. For now we need to have acceptance that whatever hardships we've been through can be eliminated. Possibly, there's a better solution for the current pandemic and people would have more time to enjoy doing some sports review while at home. The new normal can be adopted once we will be going back to watch live basketball games like NBA and other stuffs.

Indeed. The new normal sports will be different than the past because the promoter needs to give protection to the players, coach and the crew, and people who allowed to watch the match in the stadium. As long as every people can take care of themselves, there is no need to worry about the virus. We can go to the stadium to watch the match, and people can go to any place they want but still use social distance at this new normal. I hope everything will be okay, and no new case of Covid-19.

[panganib999]

There won't be a problem doing "new normal" type of betting strategy if the people who are relying or depending their daily needs are already claiming to start up operating sports betting events as long as there would be precautionary measures that the facilitators will do to avoid the further spread of virus.

On other countries live sports events do still happen but with the absence of live audience to exhibit social distancing measures. I think that would be a great idea to inhibit such practice if it is really in need to start up opening the economy where sports events can be categorized.

The vaccine is still under thorough experimentation so precautionary measures that they call to be entering the category of "new normal" must be implemented if the people will insist to operate such sports events for betting as well as for the income of many people depending on sports bet.

But still it would be best to wait for the vaccine and keep ourselves inside our home though economy is in need to be open but on a "new normal" basis.

I think, despite the current changes, everything will return to the old model in the future. No matter how cynical it may be, sooner or later the virus will either kill everyone whom it can kill or weaken to the level of ordinary flu and the measures that are relevant now will become redundant.

Very different from what we have been back in the days. WE may really be a not social people in the future 

Basketball and boxing matches without the audience seem very unusual for the players as of now but we'd get used to it. I just hope that channels like this to watch does have a chatbox available for all so that it would be interactive not just for the spectator but we even in the house can cheer for our favorite team and the team can hear us shouting "defense!"

Yes, it will back to the old model, but there will be some modification based on the situations in the future. The old model will not work correctly in the future, so people need to adjust so it can work well for them.

If we watch on the television or read the news, in some countries, the people who infected the virus already reduce day by day. That is good news because now, people know and realize how important their health, and they will always maintain their health.

[naikturun]

Sports and gambling will always be sports and gambling and promoters and gamblers will always find a way under strict circumstances, Bob Arum so far has done it in his weekly boxing matches, others are now following, life must go and so are sports because this is the lifeline of many people, so many are depending on it, we cannot just look at it while it's dying we have to do something.   

of course, where some people when lockdown is still gambling or sportbetting, they will try new ways whether it's an underground boxing match and no media coverage, or whatever the type of sport that can be done in a small or closed place.

[South Park]

Numbers are on the rise and hopefully that there wont be any revert or taking back decisions and would go into another lockdown.
We are just hoping for the cure to be released and thats the only thing we do need for us to go back into that normal living we once been taking.

There is no normal living for at least in the next 5 years or decade based on my view starting from now even vaccines will be made.

People should be used to follow the new changes starting from wearing face masks all the time.

The vaccine will cure the virus but the infection is still there. There are also cases of virus re-activation that makes it harder to create a vaccine for it. So it will really take several years before we go back to the usual normal we have been used to.

As for sports, they should resume slowly. Not that it's a risk but they have to. They just have to follow the most important and necessary things to do to somehow minimize the risks of being infected. We can go back to a "new normal" sports betting because of that.

I do not know if it is going to take that long but I agree with the sentiment of the post, I can see a lot of people that think that just because the lockdown period is ending that somehow everything is going to return to normal and that is not the case, we are going to have to learn to live with the virus at least for one more year which means that this new normality is not going away and we need to learn how to lead our lives within it and that includes sport events as well, it seems to me they are doing the right thing by opening their leagues again but without public, now this is going to hit their finances but not as much as it could if they remained closed.

[Renampun]

...

their finances will not be normal anymore...
the discourse to reopen the league is definitely encouraged by the businessmen behind it, Big clubs will not be able to survive to pay players' salaries if they don't make money, losing money from tickets is definitely something they will experience but they can still make money from other things.

Same sentiment, I just think it will take 2-4 years if ever the vaccine will be created next year. Reinfection will still be happening even in the presence of the vaccine because of course a lot will not get the vaccine right away especially in a third world country, or in remote areas. We will have to live in this new normal for a few more years. Games can slowly start to go back as long as they have effective precautions for the players and staff. I hope no one would be infected while playing in a league cause that will fuck up the whole season. I understand how they are losing a lot of money so they have to start getting back the games again. They are losing huge amount of money. Workers need to work too. The economy is starting so they will have to do something to minimize it, risky but hoping that their precautions will be effective for all the people involved.

Have you ever watched a broadcast with more than 100k viewers on Twitch?  If I understand you correctly, then you want approximately the same chat during sporting events. But it is absolutely unreadable. Messages go in endless very fast flow and do not carry any sense whatsoever in fact.
