For some countries that has good vaccination rate, they're already open but still there will be many that chose to stay at home and just simply gamble at their homes.
But gambling isn't a replacement for those jobs that they've lost, it's just a temporary source that they can do because it's not assured and they should also count the possibility of losing.
Goodluck to those ones that has come to such resolution, they are strong indeed. Down here, the Covid-19 rules and principles in public places are flattered. Only few corporate bodies or organisations still keep to it. Not that life has gone back to normal or there is a proper vaccination in place but then, people just can't take it no more. Its been way too long and it's now looking as though, you either get killed by hardship or the Covid-19 and the people chose covid, if there is anything as such.
Well, betting is sure to be popular, it came to people's aid when things was hard the most. Even when it turned out that, at some point during the early phase of the Covid-19, bookmakers had a way to fix and decide a game to ensure that the betting keep going on. A growing addiction.
