What Becomes of Gambling if Sport book is taken away.

[GxSTxV]

There are two possibilities that could happen if sports were banned in the world, but first I would like to share my thoughts about how the population and the whole sport, especially football fans would react to that, nobody or let’s say more than half of the population would start manifesting against these rules, companies, factories and businesses will all go bankrupt as they can’t produce, market or have jobs anymore, this will result to a huge mess all over the world and create a global war between citizens and governments.

Now the first possibility if this happens, the casinos and gamblers would start switching into virtual games, esports and find better successful alternatives, the casinos here would benefit more than any other industry since it will create a new hype around the world.

Second possibility, is that the gambling industry will go down badly and lose many customers until most of the casinos go bankrupt as well and won’t afford the marketing and expenses to promote their new games, as sportbooks are most generating source for them.

Do you think gambling/casinos will lose it popularity since chunk number of their clients are from sport bookies section?

Could be lessen but not totally losing their players. Lessen in terms of football fans who are into sportsbetting but as we all know, not all people are only placing bets on football games but also with other sports such as Basketball, boxing, and UFC fights. Is there such person who is into sports but with football alone? There could be but for sure there are more people who are into multiple sports. One reason is gambling itself. Not all gamblers are big fans of sports, there are even bettors who are just making their bets thru signals from communities. Also, there is more likely a bigger number on gamblers who are into matches inside and outside football, wherein odds are good. These variations could disintegrate the idea that sportsbetting will be falling just because football, in this case, would be restricted.

Same idea goes with other gambling games; poker, baccarat, dice games, slots, roulettes, and more wherein gamblers could freely move to one after another. Preference exist but on the same context it is broad and not close ended, however, gambling is.

 Op I have not heard of any country that ban football sport and I don't think there is any. The country can ban gambling but not football and if the country has sports activities then gambling must go on secretly. Gambling is one thing that like bitcoin which can't be ban totally. The more you ban the more people involved in it. Even the government makes arrest people will still involved themselves to do it. And as for me oh, this your question is even impossible unless other casinos and not sport. Although when the government ban gambling in the country, it will affect the sport bookies and the matter the government ban gambling online, gamblers would look for a way to play gamble. Even the reduction of the population is not guaranteed because the gamblers would use either VPN or another way to gamble at homes. And will go to nearby country to satisfy themselves..

Maybe a little.The real money machine to any casino are the slot machines,if you check the sections of many well established casinos,the chats of these casinos most people will share their bet slip regarding their slot machines and a little of such bets will be for sport betting.Of course the majority of the gamblers like to know instantly if they have won big or not and very few,the conservative gamblers,the ones who are raised with sport betting are the ones who are capable enough of having patience,nowadays the gamblers just like is very dynamic so are they and they want to win as big as possible and as fast as possible,something achievable only from slot machines.Also high level management of many such casinos accept the fact that their biggest money revenue generator are the slot machines,so not much would change if sport betting goes away.

Absolutely, slots are the cash cows of casinos, dominating over sports betting for many. They offer instant gratification with their fun sounds and lights, drawing those eager for quick wins. While traditional sports bettors play the long game, today's dynamic gambler seeks the rapid rewards slots promise. Casinos know where the gold lies, slots are their revenue kings.

What kind of government should ban the sport of football,
But yes if that does happen there are still many other sports alternatives that can be a means for gambling or betting.

Gambling is not only focus on football games, there are many more exciting sports matches,
such as baseball, basketball, volleyball, horse racing and many other sports, so there is nothing to worry about.

And also there are many more games available, even I can't play all of them.
Online Casinos always have their latest games and sportsbooks, it will always spoil casino users.

For example, you can see in Blackjack.fun,
there are many sports options for you to bet on, and it will always be updated.

The problem we can have is the means in which the government can adopt to ban them, as some are supporting for the ban you will also see part of the governments officials against such moves because they know and have an idea on what the government is generating weekly and on a monthly basis from some of these gambling organizations, aside that, we have our freedom to been entertained and they cant make this a decision for everyone to take by force when we are in an era of freedom of speech because people will fight against such, they should expect it not to be scrapped because without going to the public, people can still gambles in their closet.

Even in areas where there is no representation of any particular sport on the local level to get people interested, people find stuff to bet on.

For instance in Asia people often bet on matches they make up themselves like fights of animals. As weird as it sounds... People find something to gamble on regardless of conditions. The thing isn't about banning something but rather enforcing it.

For instance, if I gamble on a sports book that is not licensed in my country, it is theoretically banned. But there is no penalty for me neither the sports book. So it happens quite a lot. Would a government have the funds to be so authoritarian to ban football? Some authoritarian regimes maybe, but it would be very hard to ban a sport that has so many fans entirely.

[Frankolala]

There will still be a way to gamble. Scratch and win is also another gambling game that one can use to gamble. If no casinos and gambling is banned in a country, I believe that country would not ban this, because they see it as try your luck. Since you can get a scratch and win tickets in shopping malls and shops. Lottery is also an option.

However, I think this will be impossible for government to ban sportbet, because football is a sport that everyone likes and have a body. People's career will be jeopardize and I don't think any government will do this when they see the negative side of it and how it will affect the citizens and the world at large. Many jobs would be lost.

Remember way back during the prime of the COVID-19 pandemic? There are no sports activities at all, as in total zero.

What happened to gambling? It has even become more attractive to most people that even those who are not into gambling get in to kill boredom until they become regular gamblers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the gambling industry is one of the most performing industries in the whole world and the number of online gamblers is insanely growing in numbers even as we speak.

Gambling can lived even without sports betting. Not all gamblers are fans of sports betting.

[borovichok]

If sports bookies are banned then a lot of people will stop gambling. Majority of gamblers are into sports betting and banning sports betting means that majority of the gamblers will be affected. Sports betting is the only betting that involves real humans and so it has attracted more sports enthusiast. When you have interest in a particular sport, the next thought is how to make money from the sport by betting on the sport since you have reserved knowledge of the sport. The only reason why I picked interest in football betting is because I watch football. 

In my mind's eye, I have visualized the number of persons who are seen in a betting shop daily placing games on different sports. In some neighborhood, casinos are not popular compared to sports betting and so imagine what will become of sports bookies of it is banned. Such bookies will lose income drastically.

[darkangel11]

I'd say impossible to achieve because governments will never work together globally, so if it's banned in your country it's going to thrive in another. I just don't see countries that are supposed to be freedom oriented, like the US, banning bookies. As long as there's sports there will be sports gambling, even if it's illegal. Therefore, this is pure speculation, but lets say this happens...
IMO a lot of sports gamblers will move to another game. Sports fans will start playing cards, maybe playing video games that offer gambling like when you open CS crates with keys.
Gambling will not die, I'm sure of it, it will only change its form.

Erm yea, there's always going to be some illegal section that's going to host it back up so I don't think it's much of an issue. They may even forego KYC altogether since countries are already stating them as illegal, freeing them up from responsibilities to the country lol. If they ever really want to ban or remove gambling in a particular sport, they have to remove that specific sport. Otherwise, illegal methods would simply rise up.

But yea, if we were to consider the status of current casinos with bookies then they'd definitely lose a chunk of their users. Numbers are kind of impossible to describe since I don't have the specific stats about it but it would probably be at least 10%, definitely more if not just football was banned but sports gambling entirely.

The closest to this kind of scenario was during the COVID-19 pandemic when sporting events were suspended. But it didn't take too much time for sports events to resume without fans. Sports is a multi-trillion-dollar industry that contributes greatly to the income of so many countries and doubt if will ever be halted globally. However, if such an event happens bettors will have to look for other games that casinos offer. Casinos will lose a large chunk of customers because sports bets are very popular. It will lead to a reduction of revenue in the gambling sector because some bettors might quit gambling because they don't have an interest in slots since it doesn't entertain them.

[BABY SHOES]

This is unlikely to happen how a country that has no more revenue from any sport this might be a bit crazy for sports fans.

OK referring to the title of this thread, I think gambling will not lose its popularity as many people will bet on other games as there are now many types of games even though the Sportsbook has been seized as per the scenario.

Maybe football fans won't bet anymore, maybe they switch to other games for gambling pleasure? After all, sports betting is still on par with other gambling, although the majority of us know that betting in the sportsbook is a lot.

I think the next line of sport people enjoy after football is Basketball. It's one of the best and entertaining games and in fact gamblers win it more than football as it's more easy to predict Basketball that football, so I think people will settle for Basketball as alternative. If not that UfC is not played frequently like Football since it doesn't have a league, I would have said have of the world love boxing matches but they are not frequent played like other sports but I think people will have more options.

On the opinion of banning football, any country that involves in banning football will see may men depressed and will lead to a lot of crisis. Football apart from gambling is what a lot of people enjoy to watch, it entertain them and kills boredom, it help them to relax and also help them enjoy weekends and that is the only thing many men love, it will be a huge mistake if the government ban football matches.

It's a big loss of the football community, the fans, the players and big business behind it. While people on gambling will just move on about it, although it has impact but not as big as the loss of the football community. Gamblers will just try the same things on other sports where to bet, just like the old days of a typical gamblers and typical gambling games.

[Natsuu]

A global ban on football or restrictions on participation could definitely shake up the gambling scene especially sports betting and casinos heavily into football betting. Without those matches to bet on, sportsbooks might see a drop in revenue and lose some popularity. But hey the gambling world's pretty diverse like there are tons of other games and activities out there. While losing football betting would sting, online casinos, poker and virtual sports could help fill the gap. So yeah it'd be a hit but the industry's got tricks up its sleeve to weather the storm

It depends on the country we are talking about, there are some countries in which soccer is so popular that it is basically a religion there.

What do you think it could happen in a country in which the main religion was banned overnight? I would expect nothing less than riots and complete chaos happening overnight, with the current government being overthrown in a matter of days, and the new government restoring order by making soccer legal again and even investing money in it to appease their citizens.

Nah, I think they will still be popular with slot games or any other card games for that matter. And I think I will disagree with you, it could be that there are many slot games players, roulette or baccarat or black jack > sport bettors. I could be wrong though, but sports bettors is a niche, not everyone can be a sports bettors, but any newbies can start with playing slot machines as there are no rules, you just have to deposit some crypto and spin that's it. With that, the casinos are going to thrive and it will still be a billion dollar business at the end of the day.
