well one part is way more upset because everyone is off after not playin for few months. If you are smart you can make some money betting under dogs or spreads

I like that idea, we can always expect that the unusual would happen, they are playing in a different atmosphere and venue, so probably there's a big changes, plus they might gain weight due to long break, so that could affect the offense, under as well for TOTALS bet.

Many sports are returning but are being played behind closed doors keeping spectators away and that seems like a well thought out manner in which to ease things back to normal.

I read an article stating the French Open would be played in late August and early September with up to 60% of audiences sitting in some of the stands and that just makes me surprised as to why they would want to take such a big risk rather than hold the tournament behind closed doors.

60% is a very large number. Given that there is a big risk that people will violate safety rules. It is enough to see how many violations were in countries where quarantine was introduced.
According to the latest data, even ordinary rag masks do not save the virus, and in this kind of congestion there will be enough just a couple of carriers of the virus that can feel fine and not suspect anything.

Another good factor is that the power of the virus is not the same as it was when it first started to spread.

Can you expound more, as honestly I don't get what you meant.

Same, didn't really get it cause I've read that the virues is mutating, making it faster to spread than before. It said that it will not make a person sicker but can make the virus more contagious. And it makes it somehow dangerous than before.

Quote
A mutation affecting the virus's spike protein changed amino acid 614 from “D” (aspartic acid) to “G” (glycine). Research suggests that this small change — which affects three identical amino acid chains — might make the spike protein more effective, enhancing the virus’s infectiousness.


It may be true that gambling is affected due to the virus, but I think they are still surviving because of the online casinos and esports. Honestly, online gambling is still in a safe position in this pandemic compared to other industries.

Sports gambling would be really affected because of Coronavirus. Sports are all about close contacts which is really limited due to the virus. Gambling on the other hand will have a downside regarding on all those possible games that was supposedly to be conducted during the time of quarantine. The gambling industry would be greatly affected because they are losing all the possible opportunities to gamble.

In theory you are right.However from a practical point of view all events are happening now in sport betting so I don’t think gamblers are missing events at least in soccer where all the major leagues from Europe are playing.

It seems like people are not stopping, when we say gambling, this is not for everyone, it's only for people who have some money that they can afford to lose and we have a lot of gamblers who can still do that despite of the pandemic, so the casinos can still make money from gamblers.

Sports betting is a big industry as well, and I'm glad that slowly major sports are coming back, actually I'm excited to bet in NBA already, it will resume this month.

While the Coronavirus continues to advance, the economy develops slowly, giving rise to scarcity and unemployment.

Honestly this situation is worrying, I see that the way the USA is reopening the economy does not strictly follow sanitary controls and is the reason for the new cases of infected people and this leads to more spending and less income.

The increase of cases in the US is undeniable, it's over 3 million cases already with over 130k deaths already.
If they will close the economy, nothing will happen as people will starve, US even a very rich country can't provide the needs of the people as the government also has a lot of responsibilities to pay debts, so revenue is necessary to them.

I am already wondering how it affect the economy with this 3 million cases, it could be the end of the life and health insurance business.


Without a doubt, online sports betting has been growing because it is safer. We will see in the economy that business will become more online.

Not only sports betting, other forms of games as well, it's growing because not because it's safe but because it's risk free.

No, it's not that easy to forget and what happened at the past can serve as a lesson to those who didn't take COVID-19 seriously. Imagine, a simple solution will save us all back then and now we are suffering from that mistake. Actually, It can happen again since there's another plague spreading around the world so by remembering the mistakes in the past, we can solve it early and be competent handling such situations like this. No one expected? When the time it spreads in Wuhan, we already watched the news and other videos from WHO or World Health Organization that explains how dangerous is COVID-19, Are we really not expected it to be too dangerous or the higher-ups are just confident that they are strong and can handle the situation? It's not the first time for this kind of pandemic, we already experienced the H1N1 virus back then and many died, travel ban is one of the easiest and risk-free solution we could implement.

I'm not saying forgetting and not learning, of course, we need to learn from our past mistakes but we need to move on as it already happenned.
We have to face the current situation but the solution is not to lock down our country as it will affect the economy, no jobs created and no business operation is tantamount to stopping from living. 

Why Vegas are allowed to resume the casinos is because they are granted by the government, and we can all agree that the government knows and understands the risk of the virus, but the risk of the economy to collapse is more serious that might affect everyone of us.

Pick the a poison in short, and the government has already picked.

~it's really different story when it comes hungers strikes in your family since for this case people will find job or ways to feed their families, I saw this for so many countries hunger is the second enemy of the people now and hopefully the corruption in government will stop so that the aide will go directly to those families who suffer hunger for this current crisis.
Unfortunately, it is a fact that really happened in many countries, especially in my country. Suffer hunger is even scarier than Coronavirus. On the other side, there is no big support or help from the government. Instead, the government did a crazy way by rising the amount of taxes. In this way, people have no choice than going outside to find jobs for feeding their family. Well, it is almost the same condition as sports gambling that also get suffers from the current crisis. But sports gambling has got better signs as some sports already started to play.
I don't think a government would do things detrimental to the people.

There's a reason for everything, one reason I believe is that the funding of the government is not already enough to support the people, that's why they need to resume the economy so they can raise funds to recover the economy, and I believe regardless of what country we belong, there's no country that can afford to feed or support the people until the vaccine is created.

As you can see, even USA, they are resuming the economy by opening businesses despite of the risk.
But the real problem here is, it won't lead in that way where includes a lot of risks. If the government listened to its people's request for an early travel ban then our country wouldn't be at this state. So at some point, people have the right to complain and blame all to them for being incompetent and trusting their management. So if a country is competent in this kind of pandemic even it's their first time handling the situation, it won't reach on this point where we need to resume businesses even our cases still rising just to gather funds for this pandemic. Our country already has a lot of debts, it wouldn't happen if they made the right choice at the start of the year. Philippines and Indonesia are the leading countries for having a lot of cases of COVID-19 in SEA.  
Let us not go back anymore to what has happened already, no one expected that covid-19 will create a very big damage like what we experienced now.
We will face the current situation and we have no option but to continue living our life, the economy has to be taken cared of, otherwise hunger will kill us.

Does anybody have any statistics to show any sports gambling patterns for residents of the African continent, South America and Middle East? It would be interesting to see how their gambling habits might have changed before and after any COVID-19 lock downs.

There is no sport because of the corona Everyone is living in a state of panic because of having enough vaccines In the Middle East where casinos are legal gambling accounts for about 80 per cent of all sports revenue. In addition Iraq and the UAE have a culture of legal and illegal horse racing but they are also turning to online gambling to overcome the crisis Despite the effects of the coronavirus the demand for online gambling is high.

there are some people are afraid of being injected of vaccine for ncov19 because its not yet 100% tested if it is effective or secured, based on the doctors it takes more than a year to prove that the medecine or vacinne are effective and safe to take or inject, specially there are person which has allergy in some medecine which they need to consider it before taking or injecting the said vacinne.

but i cant wait to the return of NBA 2020 season

Others seem to have difficulty adjusting to the new normal as there is still a lot of criticism and apathy, just because this has happened in today's generation. But as the days go by, it also gradually becomes more habitual. Hopefully, their medicine or vaccine for COVID-19 is 100% accurate and effective. Unlike this case before us, there have been issues of deaths due to the side effects of taking the dengue vaccine to school children.
What specific cases are you talking about? Can you provide links?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dengvaxia_controversy

So others do not want and are afraid of the vaccine. Because instead of preventing them from getting sick or infected by any disease, they may have another disease or worse cause death.
So all I want to convey is that their medicine and vaccine against COVID-19 is effective and has no side effects on the human body as has been the case with other vaccines.
