Just as the title stated, what do you think will becomes of gambling enirly if we wake up one morning to the news of global banning of football, or a country ban it citizens from participating in football both as a game and also a sport.
Do you think gambling/casinos will lose it popularity since chunk number of their clients are from sport bookies section?
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
Around one-in-five U.S. adults (19%) say they have personally bet money on sports in some way in the last 12 months, whether with friends or family, in person at a casino or other gambling venue, or online with a betting app, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.[/b][/u]
Men are more likely than women (24% vs. 15%) to say they have bet on sports in some form in the past year, as are adults under the age of 50 when compared with those 50 and older (22% vs. 17%). There are also differences by race and ethnicity: Black (27%) and Hispanic adults (24%) are more likely than White (18%) and Asian American adults (10%) to report doing so.
There are no significant differences in self-reported sports betting by educational attainment or household income level. For example, 18% of college graduates say they have bet on sports in some way in the past year, as have 20% of non-college graduates. Similar shares of adults in upper-income (22%), middle-income (19%) and lower-income households (19%) say they have bet 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.
