What Becomes of Gambling if Sport book is taken away.

[Wiwo]

I don't know is this have been discussed before here on the gambling discussion board or not, but let see how our independent opinion on this question will be and what to anticipate should Incase we find ourselves at that stage in time.

Just as the title stated, what do you think will becomes of gambling enirly if we wake up one morning to the news of global banning of football,  or a country ban it citizens from participating in football both as a game and also a sport.

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

Just as the title stated, what do you think will becomes of gambling enirly if we wake up one morning to the news of global banning of football,  or a country ban it citizens from participating in football both as a game and also a sport.

There will always be alternatives.

It is a certainty, that the news will surely discourage some gamblers, but I believe that a larger number of gamblers in this category will seek alternatives, other games that they can gamble on.

Gambling has become a part of some people's life, and unless gambling is entirely stopped, some gamblers will never stop.

Football is not the only sport we have in the world. While it may be popular in one country, it may not be in another. In a country like India, Cricket is like a national sport. You will have the majority of sports book talk about cricket. We also have places where horse racing is also more popular than football.

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

Yes, of this happens in a country where football is their national sports. No if it happens in country where they have other sports more popular than football.

Football is a well known sport with huge fans all over the world, but we should also take note that there are other sports too in which we can bet on. Like basketball, and many more. So I will switch to basketball or I will be gambling more on casino games.

Casino games are still cool with high profit compared to sports bet, and that will save the day for gamblers, because I could remember that I never started gambling with sports. It was the love that I have for football, that made me to start betting on sport. This is because it make my predictions easier due to follow-up on clubs that you want to stake your bet on.

Why will casino or other gambling site lose their popularity? It is not possible. All countries can not just come one day and decide to ban gambling. That is not possible. There are some countries that ban gambling and there are some countries that do not ban gambling but gambling sites are becoming popular.

Lottery? events prediction? I think at least we will see at least two of them.

Even some countries ban gambling, but they didn't ban lottery, which mean lottery is more acceptable.

There's always new event in every year and the prediction isn't limited to specific category. It could be predicting the upcoming president, predicting when BTC price will cross $100K, etc.

People won't quit gambling even the country ban it, just like people gamble using VPN when they live in a restricted countries.

Of course the popularity of casinos will decline but I think only in the short/temporary period.
Gamblers will definitely switch to other types of sports or play other games such as slots, poker, house games, etc.
The desire to gamble will not be extinguished even if someone, for example, only bets on football before.

I’m sure that casino industry will be affected but there’s a lot of sports available for gamblers to bet on. Football is indeed the biggest sports that contributes bet on sportsbook industry but gamblers will always find a way to gamble despite their favorite sports is already ban.

Besides, most of online casino has slot games and live games which generates profit that can compensate on the loss of football on sportsbook. It’s a big deal for the fans but gambler will surely find a way to entertain themselves on casino.

I don't think that will happen, as we know, football is a popular sport among all groups, whether children, adults and adults, including officials, the mafia, farmers, To all corners of the world, football has become a favorite for all people, I think it is very impossible if there is a ban and all kinds of things that make football prohibited.

Talking about sports casinos, especially football, if there is a confiscation or ban on such gambling, it seems that the casino would be unreasonable to implement other based betting features, I think one obstacle to sports gambling is a hundred ways for casinos to make this type of sports betting, I think there are many ways that casinos can do to develop the best gambling in their casinos, it doesn't have to be football.

I think you should have a reread again to understand that country part of the ops because what I meant is not what you understood it to be and making your point not to give me the real message I expected from the reply,  well what the thread is aimed at in a simple terms is how the influence of sport bets in the gambling industry,  and how sportbets made casinos to become more popular and what are the possibilities let assuming that sports such as football tournaments are ban?

I know this can never happen that the whole world will ban football,  but also know that there is a possibility that some countries could ban football depending on the style of their leadership.

[cabron]

If it's really going to be banned and people can't do something about it people will move on. There are more sports to bet on, baseball used to be the most popular as far as I know. But every country has a sport they love watching, soccer is more popular in other countries.

Cricket still is popular in UK and India as well so the casino will still be moving on to those games and wagers will probably have larger amounts to bet on these games due to Football not being available anymore.

Gamblers are very creative people. They will always find a solution if casinos ban sports betting, or a specific sport will be banned for placing bets. As an alternative they can use p2p betting. I dont think that it will greatly impact on the funds turnover in betting industry. It will be not convenient to place a a bet, the odds will be the same, but people will increase minimum bet amount. And of course illegal betting will work with double effort.

You mean what will happen to casinos and gambling generally if football is banned all over the world? People will move to other sport. Or what if all sports are also banned?  No bad effect will it have on casinos than people that only prefer sport may because of it visit casinos instead as they are bored. They will look for alternatives. More people will visit casinos than before because casinos ar one of the alternatives.

Sports book is just one aspect of gambling that is not based entirely on luck unlike the luck based games like dice, slots and others. Sports book seems to be more popular in some demographics whereas the traditional casinos have other options. If Sports books is removed from casinos, there is no doubt that it will affect the gambling business in no mean way because a great proportion of bettors actually play sports book.
Anyways, I don't think there would be any need to remove it from gambling. I have not read any huge negative impact it has on the business so why will it be removed?

[target]

Football is not the only sport that people bet on. The NBA fans will still be betting on which team and those Soccer fans will still be playing on casinos, these changes will only affect those football businesses and fans.

But you know football is not going away right?  Are you talking about that brain injury where the cause is the football concussions?
Football has already been part of the tradition for a long time, if there is a need for changes I guess only the rules not banning the sport.

My take here is that, a country can ban gambling to some degree but when it comes to sports like football, I don't think they will totally ban it for good. Somehow, sports can unite people and other good things can come out of it. So this hypothetical scenario for me won't happen.

Sure, some countries can ban gambling or sportsbetting, but not the sports itself. And besides, people will just find another sports to watch out for. Do remember, there is VPN that anyone can explore when it comes to betting, that is, if there are gambling sites that are being banned on your country.

Am sure other people will be gambling on other sports, but if football can be ban in my country and their is no other way which I can access it, then am going to stop gambling till football is unbanned. One of the most popular sport in my country is football, so I only watch football and gamble on football alone,  if football is banned in my country, and am to gamble on other sports, I will be gambling blindly because I don’t have any knowledge about those sports, it’s just like wasting of money to me. If am in a situation that football is banned, then I will get something else to keep me busy and I will stop gambling.

If sportsbooks are stopped in a certain country then another sportsbook with minimal geo-restrictions will try to capitalize on that change if that happens because gamblers will always try to find something similar and even go the extra mile if they can find a way to bet on football matches once more.

Gambling will probably lose its popularity within the country, but I think the casinos will always look for a solution to bring it back (or even compromise) because they don't want to lose out on a big chunk of profits.

[crwth]

Well, we all know it's never going to happen but theoretically speaking, it's going to be a weird game and a lot of people might have to decide what they are going to do with the games being played. I think the majority of the people who gamble in sports are to get the wins and multiply their money, so that's just how it is.

I don't think it's going to lose popularity immediately but it can decrease the number of people watching bit by bit and then realize "why are we banning it? or limiting the bets" lol

[un_rank]

Gambling predates football and sports in general, so I would expect gambling to survive a hypothetical ban on sport activities and gamblers will diversify their interests.
Would it lose some popularity? Yes, some users spend as much time gambling as they do because of their interest in sports and love for speculating on it.
