Re: Will esports gambling be explosive in the future like sports gambling?
Football (the folks over the pond tend to call soccer 
) is without doubt the most popular sport and the World Cup is obviously the most watched sporting event worldwide so the sportsbetting industry gets a lot of business during such international competitions. The public interest is so high that even people who don't usually bet or don't watch much sports have a punt or two just for fun. E-sports on the other hand is a niche business and its general public is mainly teenagers who play PC games whereas whole nations care about their national football teams. They are not exactly comparable in my opinion.
You're right, but it's true currently. But I'm talking in the near future, like few decades later.) is without doubt the most popular sport and the World Cup is obviously the most watched sporting event worldwide so the sportsbetting industry gets a lot of business during such international competitions.

They are not exactly comparable in my opinion. Right now, esports hasn't been admitted yet by most people all over the world. But several kinds of video games have already been added into the Asian Games. As for the Olympic Games, some dominate video games are applying to be added into the Olympics. In the future, personally, I think esports will be more popular than sports. It's more convenient. Like a saying that I believe (not exactly the same, but the meaning is), in the future, more people will become more lazy and dump, and fewer people will be more smart and become elite.
