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.

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?



I'm sure a lot of sports are going to find a way in order to continue their tournaments as well as sports gambling, We could see some articles about UFC and some other sports how they are making their ways to continue and for sure it is going to happen. The government is also going to support it since they wanted money. A lot of countries is also already recovering from the virus and slowly some of the gatherings are getting back but 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.

To those saying that it is still a rumor, here is my piece. I think the second wave is here. I mean look at some of the news outlets already calling it the second wave. If they were able to control it for a few weeks and then there is a new spike of cases, then that is the second wave. Definitely at this time we need to follow the new norm. Follow all protocols and be able to stay away from very crowded places. It is survival now.

For the sports organizations, definitely there would be new changes now that there is a new surge of cases coming in. I could think is that cities with the least cases will be allowed to be used as venues for the sports events, though logistically it would be a nightmare putting everything in one city, if that is going to be the plan.
To easily determine the phase of our situation, look at the graph of confirmed cases per day. If the line already goes down due to good order and maintained the public health very well, that's the end of the 1st wave. We can say that a 2nd wave has already occurred if the line from 1st wave drops but suddenly goes high again.

It's because some people aren't participating in the guidelines or protocol given by the government or maybe the government lacks competence so cases occurring per day are not stopping. I hope the sports organization prohibits the audience and fans from any tournament, it'll just make things worst.

I think there might be some changes as when we are quit uncertain with our future due to what is happening today, we are doing some kind of reservation so we will not be as aggressive as we are before the pandemic, but then, even if the revenue of sports betting industry will reduce but what I am seeing is that they would still operate with profit and they can still contribute to the economy through their taxes to the government.


After the NBA restarts it will pull in huge amounts of revenue from betting/gambling but the same has probably been going on with football across Europe primarily with the English Premier League but how would that affect any graph that might show any increase/decrease to how any inflow of funds towards betting from those people in quarantine might look like.

Did the stay-at-home gamblers because of the coronavirus change their betting patterns?


Now that some places have re-imposed lock downs (such as suburbs of Beijing and Wuhan as well as parts of Germany), how will this impact the sports gambling with some sports resuming including the EPL Football (English Premier League)
What's necessary is that sports will resume, or major sports will resume to be specific as they are the ones who creates attract big bets.

NBA will also resume soon, this is a big sports event and the world will be watching and since we have a lot of option for online gambling, I think the sports betting industry would still make money from us,I think if there is a drop, there will be a little drop of total number or amount of bets compared to the time when the world was still free from virus.

Yes, this is a completely unfair event. The winning team insisted on holding the match before quarantine for the main players of the opposing team ended. This is how the wives of the players of the losing team answered the team that thus shamefully won:

~

 Grin Grin Grin
I'm laughing very hard with the response of these women to the winning team Cheesy.

With this unfair event, for sure the winning team doesn't feel that they won really because it is completely an unfair event and the competitiveness of the game isn't there. This can also happen to different sports events too where competitiveness isn't there because of the virus that will hinder them.
         Its funny indeed  Grin . Based on their reactions it is like they are just playing for fun and without competitiveness you've mentioned. It is really sad to see that this pandemic not only affects the sports and gambling but also the whole world's economy. In my country they are slowly engaging us into online and modern technologies not only for education but also market. Maybe sooner they will also publicly advertise some online sports betting for leisure since my country doesn't support that kind of idea.

Well, the rumor of the second wave is a really scary thing because even me, I don't want to risk my life in watching sports events which are highly prone that perhaps will be infected with this virus. I don't how the new normal protocol will manage that to make it sure the safety measures those on people on the stadium are safe, --even they implemented strict protocols to ensure that stadiums are as safe as possible for everybody present but we cant see who is the possible carrier of the virus.

Indeed, the same goes to the country of Russia, they postponed premier league games amid COVID 19. [ https://www.aa.com.tr/en/sports/russian-premier-league-game-postponed-amid-virus/1885109 ]

I am convinced that adhering to strict protocols will be practically impossible.
Each person is a potential carrier of the virus, which means that the human factor will play a colossal role in adherence to the protocols.

Seeing how many people around the world violated quarantine measures, it is hard to imagine that what is happening at the stadiums will do without violations.
Arriving at such a place, we, in a sense, hope that other people will be as decent as we are, we depend on their integrity, which means we introduce additional risks to our health hoping for the reliability of a third party.

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.

Why not continue with cyber leagues just like we are seeing some SRLs for cricket, soccer and tennis? Why do we need our top players to enter the courts and play during this pandemic? I think we need to change our mentality too that it's time to become mature enough to treat those players as humans too and know that they can too get infected and infect other major players too.

That's their profession that's why. People are paying money to see these players.

I know players will understand the situation and the risks they are dealing with. It's just unfortunate that some become infected while playing.

The sad truth but the sports industry needs to move on.


Agree, I will understand if some players will choose to not play, however I think some will still choose to play as long as the safety precautions will be followed, and did you guys forget its an industry too? People works for this industry, some industries are slowly getting back to work, and those who work for this industry needs to slowly go back too. I'm scared for the athletes and staff, but if there's really a way to safely continue their work, then let them be. Some of them really need to work. Its not only about us missing the sports and so on, I can watch esports, replays, etc. but its much more bigger than that

In the next matches or tournaments should further tighten the health protocols, that is, something else. Never mind the needless ones at the event. Staffing should also be reduced as well. Do not let them down because as of now, this disaster is not over, all is not safe. May they have the opportunity to know and think about the well-being of others and not just themselves.

What is important to prevent are the live audience because they are the one who may spread the virus.

There are many tournaments and games that has been opened now and they are not allowing real fans inside the places.

Lets see if Basketball starts if what is the answer of the operators.
It has become a protocol that has been applied in a tournament so fans cannot get inside when the match takes place.

This prevention will be better like this until the world is free of the Covid-19 virus.

Certainly the bakestball will start too but it's the same as other sports matches without a fan just special staff who are there so I think this will happen all matches not in Europe but Asia as well.
Imagine, having a sports tournament without an audience, it's kinda hard to play without any motivation from your fans. We all know that moral support or audience's cheers have a psychological effect on an athlete to do amazing things and to win the game. But we must accept that it's the new normal and organizers of such tournaments should come up with an idea to maintain the crowds' cheer like SFX that's continuously playing throughout the game and the commentator should be more lively to burn the silence of the game.

Also, fans shouldn't go outside and just watch the game in their homes. They should think for themselves during this pandemic 'cause there's still a next year that you'll see your favorite athletes.

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.

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.

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 sports industry is losing too much money due to quarantine measures, as is the pharmaceutical lobby that accompanies almost any sport.  I am sure that sporting events will continue despite the second wave, but without spectators.  A similar practice is already entering our lives, and will probably become the norm, at least before the advent of the vaccine.

This means that there was something wrong with the preparation for the return of sports matches due to the fact that there was a player who was confirmed to be in the coronavirus. And in that case, sports events can be stopped again and the rest of the league will be lit. Maybe they are too excite and rush so there are missed processes and not all are safe.

The best would be to put all the athletes with their families and teams into one isolated city where no one is allowed to enter or leave. Then there would be no risk of corona virus getting in or out. Also the players wouldn't need to travel and fly anymore as everyone is in one place already. You would only need playing fields as there won't be any visitors except the camera crews. Every new person wanting to come into that city would need to be on a 2 week quarantine to ensure safety.
From a logistics perspective this could be the best, but in practice this is impossible, athletes and their families are just humans, I can assure you that many of their families will simply refuse to move to another place, after all it is known that being OK with the location of the team is a big factor that plays on the negotiations of contracts, to give an example of this just this year on the NFL Tom Brady one of the biggest stars of the sport decided to sign with Tampa Bay and not with Los Angeles Charges and one of the main reasons was because one team was on the East Coast while the other was on the West Coast.

Some may suggest then to only move the players and not their families to the city where the matches will be held but imposing such restrictions to people that are basically millionaires and that appreciate their time with their family is also impossible.
