In our country, we are all home-quarantined. Since sports events are canceled, I guess most sports bettors are staying at home to playing online casinos, betting on e-sports or spending their time with their family since they are locked-up. There is not much to do, so it's best to take this time to spend more time with family watch movies and stuff.

We played with my family at home and tried with our friends online poker. Some platforms offer a service to create a private poker club and play online poker for free and real money. Is there somebody who tried it?

House gambling,  Smiley, me and my friends and families are playing poker, just to pass some time because we are already in a lock-down, curfews are implemented here. But the money involved is not that huge, it's only friendly games, instead of doing nothing.

But yes, the only options for us is go online, dice, slots etc.

We're doing the same thing here. Since everything is closed and we're quarantined, we're looking for something to do an due to the absence of casinos, we chose to gamble at home as an alternative. It could be a pass time especially when boredom strikes and it's also a good way to bond with the family and friends indoors. It's fun and the capital isn't as big as what we spend in casinos.

Coronavirus impact on sports gambling and our life is so powerful, that I can't even find right words..

But actually we still have online poker and games. So let's stick to the quarantine guidelines, stay at home and not put others at risk. By the way, I am also at risk, I have chronic heart disease and asthma.

It just cannot replace the real thing.

Just like Bitcoin to Fiats, esport will never replace sports but it will go side to side with it.

It is true though that compared to sports, esports is still small, from the events being done to the pot prices that are being given to these professional players. In terms of viewership, esports can hold a candle to other sports, you can just look at this article. Still, people are betting their money into it in fact, last year it is said that it already reached $8billion total wagers, in that year. I am not pushing you to bet on esports, I am just saying that in the future, this will be the thing and might even surpass sports in terms of price pots and wages for pro players. In fact, a lot of known people are even investing in it, some even are owning a team including Rick Fox, the Philadelphia 76ers and even Steve Aoki, these are just some of those people, if you will be searching for more people who are starting to invest in esports, you will be quite surprised.

It's a great disaster for sport gambling platform owner since they don't have much to show bettors which team to bet since we all know that many sports are being cancelled. Anyway, they can still have one that bettors can bet if the sportsbook start it. My thought is that it is more likely that they still want people in their platform. My prediction on what kind of event is "When will the corona virus be cured or disappear?" something like that and then put the odds and then the closest answer will win.

Esports is still viable, of course not huge events are happening but it's less affected than other 'physical' sports.

By esports, you mean what exactly? Dota2, Counter Strike? LoL? Fifa maybe? Do you think millions of people will sit down and watch fifa 20 tournaments just because they have nothing else to do? It is not the same thing as watching real people. Esports is not viable at all. It is mostly for geeks and children. Maybe it will change in time but not now

Just because you don't like esports, doesn't mean no one else like it either. Your comment sounds ignorant.

No. I do like esports. I played dota2 a lot when I was younger. I watched the international. (the first 3) I didn't say there isn't anybody who like esports. I said the demand for esports is too tiny compared to "real" sports.

It just cannot replace the real thing.

Yeah, I think this is the right time that esports should enter the game and take advantage cause of the current situation while sports betting and traditional casinos are suffering and taking a pause in operating... There are popular online games either PC or mobile but I much prefer playing with my smartphone because I'm comfortable with it and it is handy.

Esports is a good way to overcome coronavirus.
The profits that you can earn from esports are not so much as the favorites win in most of the times and the bookers do not provide a lot of odds for them.
Virtual sports is much better in my opinion.

Even with all sports betting cancelled people can go on to online casinos to bet on slot machines, card games and other games. I hope people do not start placing excessive amounts of bets just to start passing the time because there is a real risk of addiction during the periods people are spending more time at home as a result of the coronavirus.

I gamble trivial amounts of money for fun and people play like idiots on online card games. I play blackjack on a few of the Bitcoin casinos providers and I've never seen people play like such morons before. I'm convinced most of them are underage and you don't have this sort of issue on land based providers.

Probably china has already developed an anti-bodies that kill the infected cells of the virus and will cure it through medication.
We can just speculate right now, but if they really have the cure already, its there responsibility to share it to other countries, but there was no news about that until now, hopefully, they are not playing a "power game" where they want to be in the Top and want other countries to bow down first, including the US.


There are some articles that say China's lab contains different strains of viruses and there are speculations that the virus itself was created in China. Let's hope that once either of any leading countries finds the cure for the virus will not take advantage of it, hence share it with the world. The pandemic had hit each of us in all aspects: economy, business, tourism, gambling, and almost everyone is crippled. Let's hope everything will go back to normal and that we can learn all the lessons we've learned because of the lockdown and pandemic.

Keep safe everyone.

Also, China is recovering fast, I hope they help other countries as well like Italy and the USA that's suffering from the virus, all of us don't deserve this. After that, we can already continue all of the sports competitions and tournaments for sports gambling, and the market will be alive again.
The market can wait, but people dying everyday, this is already worst, unacceptable if we have the cure but was not shared to the affected countries.

United State
Australia
Israel
and China

these four countries claim that they have found the Corona Vaccine , we do not know whether the news they convey is true and also we do not know what they mean by claiming this when panic is still very high.

The world really needs this so that all sporting events begin again, many big game matches are postponed because of the large spread of this virus. it's better to play online gambling for now...




Yes, right. Better play online. I also saw news about the vaccine, but it will take a lot of time to test it. It seems to me that eliminating all the consequences will take at least a year..
Corona virus has been treated with different medicines and most of them were working or even our immunity is capable of handling this virus and get us fully recovered that is why most of the affected people from China are getting recovered.So this is not a deadly disease but only we have to breakdown the transmission chain to stop the spread and cure the affected ones and let the remaining world in peace.

The medicine is not targeting the virus itself as far as I know. They are mostly targeting the symptoms.

That's still better than having nothing but If there was a solid cure, we wouldn't be having deaths right now. Today nearly a thousand people died in Italy. Does that look like there is an effective medicine to you? Not to me.

It is getting worse and will be a lot worse.

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?
found myself trying to build an intrest in a sport i have never heard of its called marble racing, found it hilarious if you ask me and the commentary is right on the money, if you love horse races this is what you looking for Grin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JJWQbWFxHc

Are some giving up and trying to become reformed gamblers?
not sure whats happening right now just trying to get my mind off all this panic and reality of corona

Quote
What are alternatives most sports betting users are now switching to?
apparently online casinos are still open and a few games being played like esports, table tennis which is difficult to predict because favourites hardly win their games Roll Eyes
