Topic: What Becomes of Gambling if Sport book is taken away. - page 2. (Read 501 times)

I believe that if they did a survey to find out how many people play at the casino and look for gambling games that depend on luck and how many people like sports betting, I believe that the number of people who play gambling games at the casino that depend on luck would be much greater than the number of people who place sports bets to the point where the difference in this number is absurd, so when people stop placing sports bets due to government bans, this will not affect casinos much, because the number of people who are in sports betting there is a small number of people, to give you an idea of what I'm talking about, this is an article from 2 years ago

As more states legalize the practice, 19% of U.S. adults say they have bet money on sports in the past year

looking at this data from this article we can see that most people choose gambling games that depend on luck because they can play with little money and if they are lucky they can win a lot of money and how people want to win a lot of money even though they know that this can lead years of playing and even then they may never win that much money, still people prefer this path, while in sports betting people don't win a lot of money unless they also put a lot of money in and obviously putting a lot of money in sports betting means risk d lose a lot of money easily. It is enough to see that it is difficult to hear that someone became bankrupt because they were buying lottery tickets, but it is normal to hear that someone became bankrupt because they were betting on sports.

There is no doubt that casinos will lose gamblers but I doubt they will lose popularity. Gambling is a big industry while sports betting a very popular market it is not the entirety of gambling, there are other types of gambling games than sports betting that gamblers likes/love to play. also, if you hypothetical scenario did happen, pretty sure those sportsbettors will find an alternative to sportbetting.

And let's say that would happen, there is a thing called "adjustment".

Bettors will be used to gambling without those sports as time passes by and sooner, they will just do their usual gambling habit without involvement in sports betting since that was all gone. These bettors will still be gamblers and will just simply shift to other gambling types.

Gambling in general isn't possible be lose interest by many. The only way it could happen is if the whole world will ban gambling but that is impossible.

Indirectly, gambling users will switch to other sports because sport is not only football, although I know this is just an illustration of gambling without a sports betting bookie, perhaps many parties will also be harmed, not only sports bookmakers but athletes too, especially since football is a sport. which is most interested in by the whole world because there are many matches available in leagues from several countries, to be honest it would be boring because I am not too interested in gambling on other sports betting let alone playing casino games.

I always lose when gambling in casino games, especially in sports betting which I don't understand, so it will definitely be very lonely and abandoned by gambling and casinos without the sport of football, even though there are many other sports that can be played for betting, but I'm sure everyone would be happier with that. football sports betting because there are so many gamblers who bet all the time for small leagues and big leagues such as the Bundesliga, Laliga, Italian League and even the EPL, which is clear that gambling would be even more boring without the sport of football.

Yea right, it won't affect casinos because majority of them some provide sports betting to their customers, you will only find casino games on most online casinos, but there are betting platforms that rely entirely on sports bet especially football.

Gamblers will always be gamblers  , if one sport is down there are a dozen more to go, even people who hated other sports like Rugby or car racing will have no choice but to start looking into such sports.

Football is one of the most popular sports in the world, it will surely affect many gambling platforms, I believe that football betting has a big place in the world already, and taking it off the table will affect every betting business that ever existed.

Still, it won't stop people from gambling, some gamblers don't even place bets on sports games, they are good with Roulette and Slots games, in the long run, those football fans will find their way to other sports games or casino games.

I understand your points but I think if it's a global scale then it would definitely reduce the activeness of many casino because football is the one sports that touches almost everywhere if not everywhere even. But people will still adjust because that's the number nature of humans but I believe many countries will be affected but for like countries like where the participation isn't that much then the effect would be also felt that much.

If all sports are banned to bet for, then I think that's crazy.
Gambling has been a part of it for ages and if they banned this kind of thing they are just wasting a lot of money because most of the bookies will try to do it illegally.
So what is better? Let them do it where the eyes of the government can see it, or prevent their people from gambling and just let those illegal gambling sites take the profit? Without tax of course because there won't be a license that is needed.
Letting it play out is a win-win situation for the government. They get taxes which they can use for their projects and they get to see who are the people doing it and this avoids money laundering schemes.
2 birds in one stone, so I don't think they will just try to stop it. Just imagining how much crazy money is coming in and out of gambling sites is already a sign that stopping it won't happen at all. There's just a lot of money at stake.

this will surely disappoint many people of course specially gamblers because Sports betting is one place in which gamblers can nurture their favorite sports at the same time they can do betting , supporting their  team and supporting their vices .

but surely after some time? they will change into other gambling of course because gambling is part of their lives and banning sports will not hinder them to gamble completely .

Your country rules and law can't be the same with mine, a what is acceptable as a norm might be a grave crime in your own country.

Global ban on football can never happen, because in some country, football is like their culture or gods, for example Brazil, who dares ban football in such a country? Is what if is too much to even fantasies about, not possible.

Or let's pretend it could, what benefit will the banners gain from it? Because there are many benefits that countries and the government make from football alone apart from other sports.

Football doesn't cause damages in any ways, for billions of people, its already a healing practice, something worth living for.

I don't think so gambling has a lot of alternative to it, gambling wasn't really just sports betting on football so even if football was banned globally I don't think it is going to stop gambling at all, for sure there might be a small effect for others who bet on football but I'm sure that it will just pass at time goes by and we will move on to it, Football is not just the sports, we have baseball, Basketball, horse race, tennis etc. it will continue for sure even though football is banned.

It would not lose popularity for sure but football fans are not going to be happy about that, and the whole gambling on football is gone as well, that might affect some but if they are gambling I could see them going on other sports to bet, Not to mention that gambling is not just sports betting there are a tons of card games like blackjack, poker, etc. Then we have lotteries out there, dice games can't even count because there were just too many of them.

This is just hypothetical, in reality, I don't think that there was a possibility that Football was going to be banned at all or gonna die, I mean Football was really popular around the world it has a lot of leagues on it, unless no one is playing it already it might be forgotten through the history, but with this fan base it's almost impossible to die or get banned.

Dont forget, that casinos today offer a large variety of games to play. If sports betting will be banned, there are still plenty of way to gamble. If a specific sports becomes banned and would be unavailable for betting anymore, there are still plenty of sports to watch, play and gamble. Imo gambling industry is so developed, that will find a solution to this issues and will always offer gamblers something in exchange.

I know very well that there are other sports like basketball, volleyball, tennis, rugby and so on. The works will definitely adjust, but the game we love do much will be actively missed. I don't ever wish to wake up to such a reality. It will affect not only the casinos, it will also affect serious individual businesses like football journalism, coverages and so on. Back here in my country, no viewing center ever gets patronage from showing basketball matches or other forms of sports, the moment the fixtures are football, you'll see people from all works of life trooping in to satisfy themselves with 90 mins of purest excitement and social connection with fellow viewers.

Football have really impacted our lives positively, and its no doubt the most enjoyed, and the most popular sports ever. Like I said earlier, I don't wish to wake up to that sad news of the extinction of football. Personally, I might lose interest totally in sports.

If sports betting is taken away, it would definitely affect the gambling industry. They may lose some customers especially those sports enthusiasts. Although, there are other games that people would still play. And for sure gambling industry will finds new ways to entertain or make new offers to keep people to be still interested to play, and gambling would likely continue in some form.

That would be a bad news for the entire Gamblers and the footballers and fans. but there will surely be another way out. Like horse racing, NBA, colour games, cockfight for physical games, wrestling or boxing. There are many gambling options aside from footballing so in it would not really affect as though. An I don't think football can be ban anytime soon or in the future because football is life and ending football is like ending human happiness.

I don't see any possibility of sport itself being removed from the earth. Even if one country would ban games like football then all the professional players would just migrate to a different country and play in their leagues. Even now there are countries where the local football teams are quite weak and still, they have a lot of fans of international teams. The English premier league is a great example for that, fans all around the world are watching the games. I would expect the same to continue even if football in your own country is banned. It won't be possible to prevent people from watching football games as long as they have access for the internet. As for gambling, this might be a different story. If all the bookmakers in one country are getting banned then it might be hard for people to place their bets. There will mostly likely be a black market that allows some form of gambling. Unfortunately, it won't be as safe anymore as before and everybody has to decide for themselves if he really wants to bet larger amounts of money in unlicensed casino where there is no legal framework if it comes to issues. Let's hope no country would actually go so far and ban all the sports betting.

Sport betting is one of the number most popularly played game and to me is the major gamble plays in almost all casinos. Football is the heart beats of all casinos that attracts lots of costumers and bettors to their site, although even though sport booking is removed from gambling then people has to adjust since changes is constant and we can easily adjust as human and go to another most common games.
But however from history of gambling sport betting which includes; football, basketball, hockey game, tennis and racing has become one of the most popular games preferred by gamblers so, if football is being removed today then gamblers may likely switched to another sports game. Hope this is what mean?

I don't think so. Even though football will be banned in some countries or around the world, I don't think that the popularity of sports betting will come to an end because there are a lot of sports that a player or bettor could choose from, and not all people will have only one favourite sport to bet on. So yeah, I don't think so. Even banning football as a game or sport is impossible.

There are a lot of games a player could bet on, and I don't think that bettors will bet just because the betting app has the sports they want; they bet because they want to, either because they hope to win or because they are just betting for fun or to be entertained, so if, for instance, many sports are being erased or banned in sports betting, I don't think gamblers or bettors will stop to find sports that they can do a bet on.

Betting is among the activities to indulge in but we need to be extremely careful when dealing with the market. Losses are made when the predicted games doesn't pull to the accordance path, moving inverse ways will issued out losses to gamblers but it move directly will bring profits. There's a big difference between been a fan and a gambler. Fan just exists to watch the crucial game and having all the fun needed more like entertainment while gamblers are these set of people that are willing to engaged with every bold moves to gamble.

There are lots of casino out there that are not after sport betting, though sport betting a a large number of gamblers on it, because they think making your own analysis and predictions will bring about an easy win. So definitely gamble entirely will loss some of its gamblers while some of the gambler will definitely switch over to casinos and other gambling other than football/sport betting because a gambler will alway remain a gambler useless he decides to fully quit.

Just one sport getting ban would not change the interested of the gamblers to gamble. If there's no more football games, there are still a lot of games where we can bet, we can name it as basketball, volleyball, and even billiards. Man, this world would be boring without gambling, so it will never affect the sportsbook or any gambling entity as people will still gambling.

If you want to see a massive disruption then the government has to ban gambling.
