Today I watched the news about European football - a pretty funny thing happened: some national championships were prematurely completed (for example France) and some continued (for example Germany).
Interesting fans in which country consider themselves the most affected and how the transition to the UEFA Cup and the Champions League will be made.
Obviously, there are many profits awaits so they're still continuing those events. They knew that fans and audiences are across the world and it will gain a lot for implementing it even there's a COVID-19.

Business is still a business, they can spend money on implementing measures to avoid COVID-19 while continuing the tournament where a lot of people bets and supports.

If we are talking about sports gambling some of them are cancelled or postponed their games because they want to avoid having a gathering from different part of the stadium because in case there is an infected person it causes spreading a lot the virus immediately, still, it is a good opportunity to the players because they have some time to make a lot of practice and trading for the upcoming event and the first fight on the year of 2020 during the quarantine is came from Jose Pedraza vs. Mikkel LesPierre on las vegas according to our tv5 espn.. The hype and the excitement of the gamblers are coming up.



Sports are slowly resuming, I'm happy that finally boxing match has already resume though I expect they will be the first to be given a go signature since it's just a battle of 2 fighters in the ring, but I believe our favorite sports will also follow soon, especially the NBA where I love to watch at bet at the same time.
I'm waiting for NBA to resume but I don't think that it will as enjoying as what it is pre-pandemic unfortunately.

What's happening right now affected both the audiences/watchers and also the players too. Some might not in their perfect shape when the resume date comes but we don't know. One thing is for sure though. It will not as exciting as it is but still I'm happy that they will resume this July. I just hope that the worst case scenario will not happen and that is an infected player to roam free around because one infected player can ruin the game and worst it can lead to another pause or even stoppage of the season already.

When corona virus started all activities in the different countries who are affected by the virus the make decision to cancelled all the games in sports for the safety of the people the player too of course.

But it is not the end because if you sport gambling player you can still play a gambling but not related in the sports because  there is no gambling sports games at this moment but they have many games that you can choose to play and to earn money.

Switching games now is one of the good for a sports gambling player and Im sure they really love the games that they did not try before.
But the other gambler really awaited the return of sports betting. Some of them also tried other online gamblings such as dice, slots, and card games when sporting events began to stop because of the pandemic. So they really have no choice but to play others or put off betting first.

Although many have become unemployed due to the epidemic those who participate in gambling sites and join crypto casinos are at least getting rid of the effects of the virus. The virus has had no effect on gambling and has further increased the demand for gambling sites That's why it's great to gamble during a lockdown.

The crypto casinos will not have the impact of coronavirus. A gambler who plays gambling games on the internet will be safe. As long as they can maintain their health, they can stay at home while the pandemic still out there. Sports betting online get the coronavirus's impact because there is no sports event in many countries, and the sports betting site cannot make a lot of money as usual. People who often to place a bet in the sports bet moves to the other gambling games type so they can still play gambling.

The main concern is of the staff and employees as during this lockdown they would not have got paid and many would have lost their jobs as casinos may reduce the staff considering the situation and the future. Also for big casino owners who have a good cash available with them would not be effected as they can easily survive this, for the small casinos owners who are hand to mouth situation would again be effected with it.
This has already happening with the employees. Some of the small and medium businesses are reducing the number of their employees so that they can cope up with their business and will not take a negative profit in the end.

Some of the business owners are using the alternative strategy where employees are working with lower amount of days per week (like 3 days for this group and employees and 3 days for the other one) so that in this way, they will not lose their job. Unfortunately, there are some businesses who can't take their losses and closed it totally. Lucky for those employees who are working for large companies since they have still their job but this pandemic remained many of the employees unemployed for quite some time now.

It's already happening. Many employees lost their jobs because of mass layoffs in many countries. That is because the companies feel it is hard to bear the burden of each employee, so they decide to reduce the number of the employee. That is a sad story, but the employee can not do anything except to accept the decision from the company. The people who get mass layoffs need to survive by doing something, and they still search the other way to figure out how they can have money to buy their needs.

The economy is affected, it's really happening and we are heading to recession so we should prepare for the worse.
No government can give financial aid to people all the time, though they have a big budget but they don't have an unlimited funds so they need to keep economy going but opening businesses as long as they will comply with the standard protocol against corona.

As we can see, a lot of businesses are already back to its operational state and we also have seen the effect of lock down to our economy.

Bad economy will result to jobs layoff and unemployment will increase, we need to fight that.

In my country, there is also a plan to have an alternative betting in lottery through online. The PCSO or Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office is planning to make an online bet in lottery here is the link. It is good for us to avoid exposing of ourselves. It may also reduce the risk of bettors who are falling in line just to bet their lucky numbers.
Haven't heard of this before though it was published a year ago. But that would be a good option during this time of pandemic wherein physical distancing is a must. Safety will be observed and bettors won't have to leave their homes.

However we know that in our country,  even the less fortunate bet in lottery. I think that if this will be implemented and there will be no physical betting, then they will not have the chance to bet and lose the chance to win at all because some of them don't have gadgets and internet connection. This is just my opinion, though. I guess I'll just stay tuned on what PCSO's decision will be.

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?




https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/mar/14/sport-coronavirus-empty-schedules-football

See what we are talking about here is not universal , there are countries where people actually attended those events and places where the event went down without people. For sure someone did place huge bets on the event .

Due to coronavirus mostly the events are off , certain things one could actually say:

No jobs>No investments>No Gambling

It is just something to enjoy for the rich now, even then one should understand that people without much investments are trying their luck.

Some places have actually opened up related To Gambling. I do think this could be catastrophic for the long run .

The business of Gambling is down no doubt. But one can easily enjoy the ones that they can use from their houses without putting their lives in danger .

Or maybe call the nearby sports Gambling place you know well and place the bets on the mobile ?

This is the advantage of having a technology in our era. We can utilize everything even there is a pandemic that occurs in our planet through the use of Internet. However, not all times we can use it. It is more fun also to other gambler to play in physical casino than online.
At least, that can prevent people from meeting each other, and they can play gambling safe in their home. If the casino uses fiat money to place a bet, then the casino can try to integrate their system with blockchain. That will be additional good news for the crypto user in your country because they can join with people who play using fiat. I think that can make some gambler will curious to read about bitcoin, ethereum, and the other coin name in the deposit page.

That was ah, over a year and four months ago but I didn't hear anything about PCSO's mobile application. It didn't seem like it was happening, because it is still a stop operation. I also bet on the lottery before when I have to take care of numbers. That's all, I haven't won it yet. Good at scratch cards I've won but not always.

When the vaccine is out in public, I'm pretty sure we can go back to the lives we have before.
They can't take the fact that the economy of their country is slowly going down because of the pandemic so they don't have any choice but to reopen some of the establishments and that includes casinos.

Implementing strict rules inside the casinos is a must but I think that social distancing is the rule that will not be followed. For me, it would be better if you will just gamble online rather than going to a casino and risk your life there. If the vaccine has been created, we will be back to normal but it will take long before we adapt again since we are in a new normal right now already and a vaccine will take at least a year to be used by public because of its clinical trials.

Their decision for reopening of casinos today is for the sake of the economy and the jobs of thousands of people. Basically, if we resist to lock ourselves down, the country will not be productive and the economy will fall. If we will implement strict sanitation, we might somehow lessen the spread of the virus, but the best response to this case is to stay at home and utilize alternatives such as gambling online and watching TV. Though the fun isn't the same, we should acknowledge our situation and do the best way we can to lessen physical interaction.

Although the developed countries of the world usually prefer gambling there are many countries that see gambling as illegal.They hate gambling socially The situation in the country is very bad because of the virus. More borough crises are ahead. In that case you are right in saying that it is better to gamble and trade for the future without wasting money If there is a bigger crisis ahead of us we can easily overcome it.

The countries where gambling are prohibited for any reason will remain prohibited and there is no impact of coronavirus on them. Physical casino and their workers are most effected by the covid 19 as the casino are closed and they have lost their jobs.
On the other hand, sports betting online sites have shifted to E-sports betting to minimize the impact of covid 19 as no sports being played now a days.

Thank you for the link.

The statistics you quoted are interesting but these parts from the same article are important to note:

" Online Gambling Is a Go

With the closure of land-based venues and big sporting events cancellation, the trend in the gambling industry is downward. Country-to-country analyses, however, have observed a significant shift in users’ behavior from offline to online gambling. Certain online gambling products have marked a rise, along with increased spending and time spent gambling.

The UK has reported a very slight increase in first-time players, but the interest in online gambling and the related games and activities has evidently grown. Google provides a good insight into the search interest of online users. Data has been gathered since 2004. The sharp increase in searches from the last three months is more than obvious.

With country-wide lockdowns, gambling advertising has marked a steady increase amidst the pandemic. Even though gambling awareness has not increased dramatically, there are noteworthy shifts in an upper trend for various bet types in March of 2020.

Poker, virtual sports betting, and slots mark respectively 38%, 40%, and 25% increase in bets, with other gaming marking just a 3% increase. There’s also a noteworthy increase in active players, meaning those who have made one or more bets in March.

The increase for slots and other gaming activities is respectively 25% and 13%. But the growth in virtual bets and poker is dramatic – 88% and 53% "



Yeah, there is pretty big increase in online gambling right now. 88% increase for online betting and 53% for online poker! I wonder if the trend will stay when things start going back to normal.
