Do you think in the future people will bet more on eSport than actual Sport events? Let's discuss.

It is true that Esports are getting more popular these times of the pandemic but I doubt that it will ever be more popular than sports betting.

It is true that the viewership of each tournament is increasing but that we can't always relate that to betting since we can't always say that if there are a lot of people watching, there will be a lot of bets on it since not all of them are betting themselves. Sports bettors are not even watching the game itself, they watch the replay or just look at the result of their bet directly to the site.

These type of games can overtime increase their revenue but that no way sports betting will be surpass by eSports in terms of popularity.
Sports betting industry will continue to grow, as gamblers learn to gamble online it would interest them and that is the trend in the future, but as we can see, sports are real sports, people love to watch the physicality and they idolize the players, eSports is just a different type of game, not a kind of game that the public would look into.

I agree that sports will never be toppled by esports but I think you're overlooking into something.

Most of the Millenials these days are fan of esports. Yes, they are fan of it that is why we can't just say that it is a type of game that wouldn't watch by the public in the near future. This might become more popular than other sports, to be honest. All in all, I see the sport being enjoyed in the future by a lot of people, still, I don't see it overtaking sports when it comes to betting, right now.
