Do you think eSport gambling will become more popular than normal Sport betting?

[YOSHIE]

Do you think in the future people will bet more on eSport than actual Sport events? Let's discuss.

There are many reasons why now the Esport Gambling is more fun and there are many participants who want to join, rather than normal sports, if you see enthusiasts in all the esported crowding factors, this stadium or house marked esport has its own dance power for: spectators, enthusiasts etc.
This reason has its own meaning and the difference between esport and ordinary sports.

Example: people bet of course to make a lot of money, esport has that way to attract enthusiasts, that's the difference with other sports, esport makes more money.
Much is offered by gambling esport, for example games (MOBA), they are responsible for the prizes collected which can break the level of $ 25 million USD.
Just imagine for the first winner to receive $ 11 million USD, and so on including the participating team and the next winner, this is the biggest number, for this reason esports has its own charm for many people who join esports, no wonder all gambling addicts turn to esports.

Esport popularity growing rapidly indeed and following it people who bets for this sport also increase especially when this pandemi still not over yet and most of sports events postponed then Esport could be good alternative to those who still want to make bets but in the future when everything back to normal and pandemic over i think people will back again to sport betting so in my view Esport gambling cannot surpassing sport bets popularity

Esport gambling is growing and growing these days,i remember back time when this is mostly having teen participants and limited mature people but now?they are spreading the world with all generation.

From son/daughter to mother/father and sometimes even Grand parents are going into this.

So basically this will grow but yet?Normal sports betting will remain since majority of people are into physical games.

I agree physical games will be the biggest part in the next decades, but who knows after that. Many folks from the first generations of esports from the 80/90s are still playing today and now have their own kids. Esports will grow over time even more, and with so many viewers already in the big tournaments, gambling will become a huge part of esports. Many esports casinos are using the huge secondary markets for skins and mounts in some games as currency to gamble.

The excitement and momemtum is far different between the two sports. Though esports are in great advantage during this lockdown but the normal sports betting is still in the hearts of the players. Some players also not fond of esports, too. Anyway, we can't say who's gonna be popular in the future but as long as there are sports betting in some gambling sites whether it is esports or normal sports, the multiple choice to bet, the better and more fun right?

[Bitinity]

Needs long time for eSports gambling to be more popular than normal sports betting. Normal sport betting is still easier to understand for even newbie compared to eSports. I myself not interested in eSports since I knew it for the first time year ago if I recall it correctly. Imho, normal sports gambling will be still leading in the next few decades.

esport and sport gambling in my opinion have their respective markets and communities. for those who love technology, and modern games, of course esport will be their choice. However, for those who like classic games, then they will tend to choose traditional sport gambling. In customer, esports will continue to grow. More popular or not, I think most esport gambling will follow the trend. There will be a time when the game gets the attention of the audience, at that time maybe the gambling esport will come popular at least until the trend goes down.

[Kakmakr]

Why would need to compare the two? They can both become big and popular without the need on competing these two things.They have different markets yet
we know on whats virtual and physical sports.

When it comes to popularity then theres no doubt that normal sports betting do really have that but we cant deny the fact that esports is becoming more
bigger.

Good if they do yet i do even engage in between these things since i do know physical sports and some gaming ones which is really a good option for me.

It is a market share thing. Gambling sites has to look at the latest trends and then they have to gear their operation, based on the latest demand. Go to the majority of the online betting sites that offers online Sports betting and you will only see a small amount of them offering eSport betting.

I think a lot of them do not have experts in eSport that can help them with the fixtures and betting odds, so they simply ignore the shift into eSports. The gaming industry must adapt to the changing needs of the younger generation or they will lose a lot of business and profit to the other sites that are shifting more to eSports.

With the growth of the internet, many people, especially younger people, like to play online games than offline games. We might not see some of them are playing traditional games, but they play online games. And that is included with online gambling, which is become popular in this pandemic. So eSport will also grow like the other, and maybe it will use as a gamble for people who want to make money.

We never know esports is getting pouular now because of the young generation, and they have the upperhand now because of the lock down, sports betting has been on us for so many years before the advent of the internet, but times are changing, there might come a time where Esports leads the betting in the future, the stats never lie.

[bitbunnny]

No, I don't think that will happen.
Because of new circumstances people will need to adjust and e-sports betting will become more popular than it's now but it will not replace regular sports.
People just love sport for a reason and sonet or later we'll get back to normal sport events, matches and championships and that is what people enjoy and want to bet on. I can't imagine that e-sport is only offer that is awailable to us.

[Starlight2]

It seems to me that it all depends on the fact when the sport will resume its activities to the full, if at all possible in the near future due to global epidemic.

Betting on e-sports has its own audience, which was before quarantine, now it has increased because many drew attention to it for lack of alternatives.

[batang_bitcoin]

I think there's no need to compare with whichever will be the one that shall gather more bettors in the future. Both has their own edge and has a lot supporters, fans and bettors. I'm an esport fan and supporter and I can't have my bias on this topic. Because as we look at the traditional setting, we can't deny the fact that they have a lot of supporters and there's more to come for their industry as they took a break because of this pandemic.

[Natalim]

eSport is getting the popularity especially for bettor since sports was cancelled during the pandemic, but in reality, we can't really say they can beat the sports betting industry because it's a big industry, it was already here before esports was introduce, so no way it will.

[Finestream]

^ Probably it possible.
We know that our government seeking a way to avoid anybody contact games sports and probably this sports game is very suitable at this situation amid COVID- 19. This e-sports that we know only as a virtually now we can see that the adoption becomes a global sensation that even bettors also want to watch because commonly people now are in staying at home.
Nevertheless, look at this stats graph showed below.

I'm interested to know on how we will convert this into bets because we are tacking here about betting by comparing sports betting and eSport betting.
As per my research, I found this article saying Sports betting market expected to reach $8 billion by 2025, so with that we already have an idea on how big the sports betting market is, while for eSport we have no idea yet.

Agree with you but it's better if we discuss it with comparison in figures, and there's no figure on eSport then sports betting rule in the competition.

[plvbob0070]

It depends because although e-sports are starting to gain more attention, traditional sports events remain popular. A lot of people are already into e-sports that's why e-sport gambling is also becoming in demand but I doubt that everyone will shift from sports betting to e-sports. The two will remain popular because gamblers can be a fan of both. It's just that, we cannot have the usual sports event we had before because of the pandemic that's why a lot of gamblers are moving in e-sports. But once everything comes back to normal, they will still receive the same attention they used to have.

Let's expect that e-sports events and betting will be really popular because of technology. But since it has a different excitement with traditional sports events, I don't think we have to worry about who will gain more attention from gamblers because both of them will.

well  if that will happen at least not in our generation because majority of us loves seeing their Team in physical playing and not those computer animated games.

and also we must let our children Know what is the importance of Sports in actual and not those they only need to Sit infront of their computers.

I guess I found some figure too.

The overall esports market is expected to grow from USD 694.2 million in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 2,174.8 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 18.61% between 2018 and 2023.

Still too low compared to the sports betting market, and it's hard for eSports to surpass the market of sports betting since as it grows, same thing is happening with the sports betting market.

[Sadlife]

It's really hard to Believe that league of legends manage to surpass Dota 2's popularity but its understandable with the recent changes of new patches some Dota players got turned off of the game as it was like not playing Dota anymore.
Anyways back to the question, i agree that Esports will gain much more popularity because of newer generations prefers playing online games because it has cool graphics, animations and various things you can't do in physical sports.

It will grow faster as years go. You have the so-called "boomers" for which eSports make zero sense, while you have newer generations coming up for which eSports are something very exciting they look up to .. hence the higher possibility imo for them to exceed the industry of real sports gambling.

As older generations get older, the newer ones will make eSports boom within a matter of decades imo. While real sports will be popular as well, eSports are going to be a bigger thing specifically due to the fact that anyone can join an international match and train with their own team against others (like on CS:GO) as if they were in some international championship. Gives you a great feeling to know you are placed against better and better players. With real sports, that's a much harder feeling to get.
