The truth is that we are between a rock and hard place, scientists need to develop the vaccine as soon as possible not only to save as many lives as they can but also to avoid the scenario you are alluding of the virus mutating and maybe becoming even more lethal in the process, but at the same time they cannot really rush it because if they do and then we find out the vaccine had something wrong they could do even more damage than the virus itself and people may lose faith in vaccines just when we need their cooperation the most.

I don’t think that people lose faith in vaccines while we have scientists who keep official statistics on how much benefit the vaccines brought and how they prolonged human life and reduced infant mortality at an early age.
The vaccine is a rather dubious thing, you need to understand that the virus mutates in any case, sooner or later, as it mutated before the first infection. Nevertheless, we must protect ourselves from it. Medicine does not stand still, which means that one day we will invent such a medicine that will be able to fight any disease, it is important that humanity survives to this time and does not destroy itself.

The virus mutating will be the next dangerous thing that I hope will not happen, although we don't know if that will happen or not. But I pray the virus is not mutating into a new virus which can attack more people in a large number than Covid-19. The scientist already works hard to find the virus by testing many things before they can get the right vaccine.

We can only hope that the vaccine can be discovered as soon as possible, and if the vaccine can release to the public, we hope that it can cure the infected people. If many people can be saved, we will see all activities outdoor will start again, and for the sports game, it will face a new look that will be different than before. Sports gambling or betting will also not be the same, but perhaps, online sports betting will be the same because people can still place a bet from home.

We are close to finding the cure for the coronavirus. China has already received the go-ahead for testing its large-scale phase 3 vaccine in the UAE.
Which shows good hope for overcoming this pandemic.
While so many of us must settle for games without fans. Until the final cure arrives.


I hope we really are. It will still take some time even the vaccine was invented or found. The release of the vaccine to other countries might take a while but I do hope that we can find quickly the vaccine. I am so excited to watch a game again and bet on it. We should be seeing the playoffs now of NBA, that virus is really annoying.

A vaccine can really take a lot of time, in particular testing it. But I'm not sure that we have this time.
The virus is not static, it is able to mutate, which means that while the vaccine is being prepared, there is a danger of a new strain of the virus, which will lead to the need to develop a new vaccine.
The question is whether we had enough of that time while restrictive measures continued to create a full-fledged medicine.

We know it would take time to develop but at least we should know when it will be release since we can't just keep guessing and hoping, we are facing a serious problem and with that we need a serious solution. I believe sports operators or organization knows that there's no vaccine this year and they can't wait until that time will come, they need to resume the business as it's not only for them but all the people that would benefit on it, although we can say that there's a risk in doing it.

Yes we have to face, I agree. I would prefer to be better prepared than be ignorant and I hope the masses agree.

thank you for agreeing with me... ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)
my husband felt the impact of this outbreak, he was dismissed from the hotel where he worked, later last week the former hotel my husband worked closed operating. I understand that this kind of situation is inevitable but if we continue to hide from this virus then our family will starve, let's face this virus, we should be able to carry out activities as usual but still have to follow the health protocol.

But what to do if the result of the match exceeded all expectations and the bookmaker suffered losses. However, the game was fair. In this case, the bookmaker can declare the match as a contract and refuse to pay the bets.

How can those who placed bets get their winnings?

That is an issue and tricky situation that can happen. I guess that bookmaker can make the decision according to his estimation, however if he wants to keep the business he should play fair. Unfortunately, frauds in sports are also very often and that makes situation even more difficult.

I know that every bookmaker has a reputation. And they value their users ' feedback. However, if they have the right to question the integrity of the matches they have played, they may well, if necessary, question the integrity of the matches that ended with great damage to the bookmaker.

Everything is possible in this country, even that which is very illogical and suspicious  Wink
But I don’t think that there was such a reason - bookmakers have the right at any time to declare any result “unplayed” and return bets to betters. This is done to protect them from such fraud.

The strange powers of the bookies. In this case, they may try to declare any suspicious match invalid. Especially if they suffered losses on it.
There should never have been a match like this.

If the bookmakers did not have such a right that protects them from dishonest matches, then all legal bookmakers would go bankrupt for a long time. There is a lot of situations where fraud (in sports) is obvious, but it is unrealistic to prove collusion. These rules help bookmakers protect their business.

This the only thing we should be worried about as if all of them will be sick or lose it will make the situation really worst. So I think the most important thing is our health we should not risk our beth as we know sports betting has some online sites as well.  We should go online and play to stay at home. Coronavirus is serious thing we only can prevent by care and safety.

That is the point why alternatives such as online betting are effective at this time. But we should also consider that most of the gambling casino needs to operate because in the first place, they are a business, and they have employees that need to work in order to have money to buy necessities. Yes, health is good and we need to take care of it, but with just relying on our Government to have food to eat will not allow you to live healthy, imagine eating canned goods for consecutive months. Instead, work with extreme caution and at the same time, help the economy to go back to normal again. Lastly, implement social distancing at each time because sooner or later, even with a huge COVID case, we can see more business opening.

The government can't hold longer, they can't allow to halt businesses as it would only result to economic struggle.
We have economist in our government, I mean brilliant economies and they are sure that if keep avoiding the virus, the effect will be worst in the future.

Sports betting is not affected anymore as they will come back, like other major sports, they will also resume soon, and NBA is going to resume next month in July 30, 2020.

A funny incident occurred in the football championship of my country: one of the teams was quarantined because infected players were found. The match was not canceled, and as a result, one team played with full professional staff and 17-year-old boys played in the second team.
The result of the match is 10-1  Grin For football, this is a monstrous score.

Wow, 10-1 is a big winning for that teams hahaha Grin
~

Yes, this is a big win. That team set 3 new records in the championship of my country. Formally, everything is correct, but everyone understands the injustice of this event. It's funny that years will pass and few will remember the reason for this event, but the set records will remain (unless someone else updates them of course)  Undecided

Yes we have to face, I agree. I would prefer to be better prepared than be ignorant and I hope the masses agree.

What is being mentioned in the media is that too many analysts have indicated there will be a second wave (also referred to as a 'curve') of the COVID-19.

According to many reports any second wave or curve will have a huge impact on lives everywhere when it strikes after lock down restriction globally are relaxed. Analysts state there will be an increase in the 'R' number and that will cause many problems.
this is still a theory everywhere...
many circulating on my social media homepage that the second wave is the worst, the media a lot of preaching as if it was a big disaster, now I no longer panic about the corona, ready or not, we all really have to face it.

Analysts will be analysts and they are just sharing their opinion base on the facts and what they are seeing right now.

With the current trend of cases around the world, I don't see any flattening of the curve but it is the exact opposite. Some countries say that they are in the second wave already and some aren't saying anything. This maybe true or this maybe not but base on what is happening right now, probably we are currently experiencing the 2nd wave already although I don't have any basis but the current trend of the cases. It isn't going down.

Perhaps those people who were free to make the decision to cancel the match were interested in losing the team that suffered because of the coronavirus. Maybe they were betting in a bookmaker's office even before the information about the illness of most players became known to the public.

Yup, daily cases in my country are even higher this time compared to the day we imposed the lockdown. We can't flatten the curve and yet basketball association here are still hoping that they can come back this year even just for one conference only. During the lockdown, I'm still hopeful that they can be back this year, but now that it became a 3 month lockdown without flattening the curve, and with this hundreds of daily cases, it makes me scared how long will it take. And if they decide to continue with it, it will be really dangerous.

Judging by the countries where summer is already ending, the second wave of the virus is inevitable. This is very sad, I think the next hard quarantine will be unbearable both for the economy and for the psyche of people. What will happen to sports is hard to imagine.

Now that almost all sporting events all over the world are cancelled, those wanting bet of sports events are left with having to find alternatives. What are the majority doing?

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?

Are some gambling on casinos instead?

What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?


there are also a lot of countries that still not recovery and didn't flatten the curved that is for sure will take a lot of time before they bring back sports.
