Winding down.
July 01, 2020, 08:25:41 AM
Corona virus makes me a little stressed, because for several months I can not play sports betting.
I like to gamble in sports and no sports betting for the games that I love to bet but I never feel stressed.
I just divert my attention to other things and focus more on my family as I know they value more than the entertainment in sports betting.

Fortunately now the spread of the corona virus
has started a downward trend, so some sports have started running again.

I don't if you are referring to the totality or what country you are living, but in our country the cases of covid-19 is still continuously rising, we are at over 30k cases now.

Corona virus makes me a little stressed, because for several months I can not play sports betting. Fortunately now the spread of the corona virus
has started a downward trend, so some sports have started running again. Even though the match has no live audience, at least sports betting
have started walking again. Hopefully the spread of the corona virus does not increase again, because of fear if the spread of the corona virus
increase again. Sports matches will be stopped again and this can have an impact on sports gambling.

Anyway, the NBA will be resuming soon and I can't wait for it to bet on my favorite teams.

I am also excited about this though I am not that updated right now with the current teams. I am still rooting with my Milwaukee Bucks. I've been rooting them since last last year and right now they are leading the eastern conference. I just hope they follow and we adjust on the new normal right now since we might not be seeing any TTs and noisy fans this continuation of the season.
Maybe the game will resume with fake audience also?like what Fox is doing right now in other sports event?

Anyway looking forward to my L.A Lakers and Phoenix Suns team.

Hoping that it will start this soon because Life is nothing without NBA watching every free time.

That would be a disaster. People are actually having a hard time to survive the first wave, how much more if we will be having the second wave. Some people thought that what we have right now is the second wave but as far as I know, we are still in the first wave, that is why I hope 2nd wave doesn't happen anymore. Though medical personnel should be ready for this does or it doesn't happen. That would also mean more delays and cancellations of games again.

It is very difficult to determine the second wave of infection or the first. According to information from our city hospitals, there were several cases when people who were sick with coronavirus were admitted again after a few weeks.

It is said that some of the cases right now are still at the first wave, maybe they are contaminated again.

We never know what will happen in the 2nd wave and I hope we never know and never experience that. Still, I am just excited as NBA games will be resuming. I am hyped since I've been dreaming about me watching games and winning some bets on it. Oh yeah, and the new cases of US are still said to be at the first wave, hope it just stay there.

I am sure that soon a vaccine against coronavirus will be ready and we will all be able to do our favorite things without fear of getting sick. You will be able to attend matches of your favorite sports teams. We will also be able to play not only in online casinos but also in Las Vegas.

Does anybody have any links to statistics about gambling patterns from people under the lock down or being affected by the pandemic?
I've searched for particular sources and data for this but I haven't seen the whole online gambling stats. These are what I've seen, for particular online gambling game like poker and for specific countries.

1. Online poker betting hits a record high during the pandemic
2. Online gaming during the pandemic

That is what will happen if people still not care about their health. You can see at your around, many people are disobeying the rule to wear masks while they are in the public area. And if that is happening too in the stadium, and there are one or two people who are a carrier, we can imagine how many people will be infected the virus without asymptomatic. And when they go home, they can also infect other people, and it will spread to many people.

That is a fact which happens in many countries, and the government with the local authority still tries to remind their people. And I hope the sports event will do the same.

Well, although I have mentioned I made my own beliefs towards the reality of this pandemic, but I wasn't breaking any rules and guidelines that my local government imposed.
Anyway, sports events have their own set of guidelines and I guess majority of them doesn't allow spectators or crowds inside the gym/facility. So, everything will be televised or be watched online. Though, the set up in the gym sounds boring for the athletes, but thats the least they can do to revive the business.

Well yes pandemic really became the reason for sporting events to stop. Most probably sports that has physical contact like basketball and other team sports. We are really in a bad situation now especially to those in the likes of me having fun playing badminton.

I cannot find also sports without physical contact even mind games like chess still violates the physical contact though it could be done online yet it is still better when one can see your opponent with their reactions evrytime you move especially when you can outsmart him/her.

Life so boring now. The minimal thing that i can still be happy is through esports that means resorting to gambling. Gambling is fun but I consider it just for pass time and not really means for living. It will be a different story. Well pandemic really introduces the esports now and probably the world of sports will probably change to esports in the future..
The same goes for those of you who are also sports enthusiasts. In any case, in the situation up to now, the prohibitions cannot be compelled. As it turned out to be here, after a month we were COVID-free. Recently, sad news broke out because there were positive cases here again due to people returning from areas with positive cases. And now, many are infected with the virus.

I came to my own beliefs that this pandemic is fake and overhyped. I mean, we have like a hundreds of corona positive locally, and non of them is critically ill and like 90% are asymptomatic.

So sad there are people who considered this pandemic as "fake" and "overhyped". Surely you are living in a comfortable life and don't have a friends or just a known person who infected with the virus. I knew around 10 people personally who got infected with the virus and 2 of them already died because they already have an existing medical condition and with Covid-19 entering their body, there is a complication.

Yes, 90% are asymptomatic but when this 90% associated with people who have the pre-medical conditions, that's where the problem will start. So even if you feel healthy, don't be selfish and still follow the health protocol.

Im sick of hearing bout this 2nd wave of corona virus spread, and I'm also sick of seeing this statistics about how many people have been inflicted already.

Thus, crippling all the business establishments.

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.

That would be a disaster. People are actually having a hard time to survive the first wave, how much more if we will be having the second wave. Some people thought that what we have right now is the second wave but as far as I know, we are still in the first wave, that is why I hope 2nd wave doesn't happen anymore.

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.

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?

In reputable bookmakers, this does not happen. Firstly, there is a limit on the maximum amount of winnings and the office controls that at any outcome of the match this amount should not be exceeded. Secondly, the mathematics of this business is such that for any outcome, the office is always in profit (on average).

Most likely it is and your words are true. What I wrote about can happen very rarely. However, I am confused by the fact that a bookmaker can declare the results of any match invalid and return bets to participants. And to do this, he does not need the match to be officially declared invalid due to players fraud.

It's the limit that is their key to be profitable, gamblers don't literally bet against the house here, sportsbook are different from other kind of games, bettors are betting against bettors, sportsbook are just facilitating the bets will get the juice or commission. Maybe at some point they would also take the bet if they are too confident but most of the time they'll try to balance out so they would also end up profitable on a daily basis. I also think they can at any time forward our bet to other sportsbook just for the sake of matching the bets on opposing sidies since it's bad for a sportsbook with a very low limit, that wouldn't attract bettors a lot.

Various bookmakers have various ways of calculating and arranging odds, some will always be more than others. I am interested in exactly how much the lock down has been affecting regular and occasional game players and if there are any statsistics available to shows betting patterns associated with them.
