We should wait until this pandemic virus has gone before we go for the sports betting because if we are going to go on that even even though the pandemic virus is still existing, there would be a high possiblity thst you would get the virus because of many people and you would not be able to follow the social distancing. The sports betting can take place buy make sure that there would be no audience on the place and there would be an online streaming so the gambling can still bet even though they are home.
They should mind the health and the danger of having an audience in the event.

Option B is looking good in such scenario but yes if in some sports due to this we find some positive cases develop among people under such circumstances inspite of having such restrictions then it will lead to the bigger issue and then again the curb will come into place.

although letter A would be the best choice between the two. but letter B is the most realistic one. these sports coordinators will have no choice but to continue even if strict rules are implemented and I expect them to provide safety precaution for every audience that will be watching the sport live at the venue. my only thought is what type of sport will be allowed to do this? I don't expect every sport that has a sporting event will be allowed to do this even with strict precautions.
South Korea has already started using the option B.
South Korean K league football tournament has already started with zero spectators. Yesterday they had played a match. So it is evident that a vaccine may not come this year. Therefore people have to live with the virus now and gradually lockdown has to be removed.

Option B is possible but quite dangerous as well even in our country some hospital has been infected of the virus due to some patients laying about their travel history and condition and some unknowingly carry's the disease.
So i'd go with option A, wait for a vaccine. Sport events can resume after that rather than option B endangering the players.

I'm very sceptical about stopping sports events until vaccine will be found. It may took 1 or 2 year until it will be found. I don't think that we can keep everything closed for so long. And it's not just about sports, it's about all events in general who were stopped now. IMO, waiting for vaccine isn't viable solution. Even if it will be found, question how effective it will be. Because it's very likely that until they will make vaccine, virus will simply mutate and vaccine will not work. And I doubt that all athletes, staff, spectators who are going to watch competition around the world will get vaccine. Some are even anti-vaxers, like Novak Djokovic and they won't accept this vaccine 
.
I think we will have to return to normal life step by step. First playing without spectators, like some leagues already starting. Then, allowing limited number of spectators to enter. And if there will be no spread of virus, they can lift most of restrictions.

And if the cure is found or the vaccine will be discovered, do you think they will be able to reproduce it right away?
No, therefore the sports organizers or promoters can't wait until the vaccine is created for them to resume, they will have to or their business will die.
Continuing with full consideration is what the sports industry will do now to keep their business moving. Didnt think they would wait for the vaccine to be made and reproduced and now we will wait for the season to continue with strict protocols for all the players and everyone involved in it. No, therefore the sports organizers or promoters can't wait until the vaccine is created for them to resume, they will have to or their business will die.

Most sports events are halted, suspended, postponed, and canceled because of the pandemic virus for about to 1-2 months now. Within that short period, the damage is serious so I can't imagine if it will take a year or over.
Seen several posts here about the vaccine that should be made first before resuming. It makes sense and the best thing to do but providing the timeframe of creating a vaccine against Covid-19 that might take a year(s), is the world can afford to wait for that vaccine?
So what do you think?
a) wait for the vaccine even it will take years, end of the discussion
b) resume slowly with several considerations such as no audience, limited number of staffs or any important things to do before considering resuming, unless the area or place was heavily affected
Since it's almost impossible to expect a vaccine until the end of the year or maybe the 3rd quarter of the next year, I will go with B but with lots of considerations (But I'm hoping I'm wrong. We all want the vaccine and experts around the world are truly working hard for it).

The sporting industry should find a way to make their business move because so many families are relying on this business, we can't just let it die just like that without giving a fight, they can do strict social distancing to their audiences and pick a place where there is less number of infected and follow strict guidelines and compliance.

Also, the medicine to cure the infected individuals is still on trial, so it is really not smart to hold the sports event in the next coming months. If possible, wait for the health authorities to at least identify the effective set of medicines that can cure the mild-severe infected patients.

I personally feel that for any such big events till the time the vaccine is not prepared and trial and tested the big events will either gets postponed or will be cancelled. Nobody will be ready to take risks of their life just to put the shown on. May be if conducted may not receive that participation that would have otherwise in normal time.
Sports events that usually draw big crowd should be planned meticulously if ever the handler of the event decides to push thru even without the vaccine available. But it is best to hold the event without audience and just do the PPV stuff if they really do want to hold the match.

I hope the vaccine will develope so we can sure our health is safe from the coronavirus because many people are scared and even me.
Once we have vaccine we can watch again sports events or we go to stadium without any doubt because vacinne will be there so we cannot get virus but cure is more good to see to develop.
A vaccine will be developed and I'm 100% sure for that. The only question right now is "WHEN" will the vaccine be available to the public. There is a anti viral drug called "Remdesivir" that has been approved on Japan already and it is on the clinical trials already. They are testing it to some patients.Once we have vaccine we can watch again sports events or we go to stadium without any doubt because vacinne will be there so we cannot get virus but cure is more good to see to develop.
In case of the sports events, there are some countries who can host some sports activities since they have low to no case of COVID19 but still there must be a precautionary measure before conducting it. Vaccine will be available in public but we will wait at least the second half of the year to 2021.

It would really impact PPV price which is understandable because theres no other way around to generate income but lets hope that it would be still affordable for anybody to watch.
They should really impose strict measures to check everything from players to staffs etc. The hard thing here is that there were asymptomatic person which is really hard to be detected
unless if it gets tested thats why all people included in the organization should really have that check up first before they can go in to the venue on where the games would be
prepared on.We can deal that new way of basketball where theres no crowd,as long we can able to watch our idols to play once again.

THat is what Im thinking.
There are those cases that can't be identified immediately unless being tested. These cases are not that obvious and considering their body, they are strong enough to be almost immune to this virus and have just asymptomatic cases. They might be able to play with just themselves in there but they should also consider that they will be flying their players into risky places, there are a lot of things they would consider to push this through.

The answer depends on your situation like if a country is heavily infected by coronavirus or there aren't much covid-19 infected person in your country then the sports can be continued since the country have less infected people. Even if creating the vaccine will take months or year but the blood of the infected people who recovered from the virus can ve used to create plasma and will help those who got infected to recover.
I don't think they would risk it like that.
Despite the low infection of the country, I don't think they will be allowing sports events to continue or take place unless it is an event they can do online like esports. If they will be doing a sports event, they are just making the infection rare higher and that would also mean that it will increase people infected. Always remember that there are asymptomatic cases.
The NBA was planning for a resume, infact some of the facilities has been prepared to be use.
It's not impossible to resume if they will impose a strict preemptive health security measures, like prohibiting the players and staff to go out from the facility until the season ends or if the pandemic finds its cure. Of course, they will play without the crowd, just the live cameras.
But, also before resuming they still need to re-test everyone just to make sure they are all cleared upon playing to avoid the corona spread in the league.
I guess we can bet again when NBA resume. Its never easy without ball games to watch. The association will have to impose strict security for it, those athletes are insured worth millions, the insurance companies would have to really have to exclude covid infect in their policies.
UFC is also resuming but just as things had changed, we might be seeing more PPV fees to also rise.

Indeed the best option is to wait for the vaccine to be found, it's the safest choice in my opinion. But the problem is we don't know when
the vaccine is can be found. Waiting too long will be dangerous, because the sports industry will die. That means there is no other choice,
we must not keep silent. We must dare to take risks, all sports must be opened and started again. Of course by still obeying convid-19
protocol. As there is no crowd, always keep a distance, and exercise equipment spray disinfectant regularly.

Maybe we can just based on what will be the reaction of the US in this crisis we are at now. For sure they are also thinking of the ways to resume boxing events despite of the pandemic that is going on, if the US which has been heavily affected by the virus will be able to host a boxing event, then other countries can certainly do the same, provided they have some safety measures too.
