NBA might as well disband their entire league, because the flu will be around forever.

Oh I think he’ll be fine, but if I had chest pain, these idiots probably x ray my left foot to see if I broke my big toe. Why not start with the one making people lose their shit, first, because by all indications this was like a “fine. but only because you have a gun to our head” test.

Yeah, nobody gives a shit about the flu.

Enjoy that 4K a month rent for 1 bedroom in the hood of the bay area. Sucker

Since when do the rich care so much, that they cancel events where they have the opportunity to make big money? This is contrary to all sense, and contrary to what has happened throughout all of recorded history.

You can't afford to buy a clue.

Coronavirus is a small problem, as it is right now.

Coronavirus will become a much bigger problem if people stop spending money, because then we'll have Coronavirus along with an Economic Collapse, and the end result will be worse than the "Dirty 30s."

The reaction is completely unjustified. It’s a flu. If you are under 70, you have a 99.9999% chance of surviving if you are infected. If you are over 70, it’s say 99.4%.

The common flu kills people everyday. COVID is certainly more dangerous, perhaps 10X. But you are still talking 1/1000s of a percentage point. Say a 1000 people are infected with the common flu and maybe 1 person never recovers. With COVID it’s 5 people that never recover. Trying to save 5 out of a 1000 people (many of which have underlying heath issues that are exacerbated by the flu) is not worth giving up freedoms or tanking the economy.

This is a political issue now. Media is hyping it bc it’s the only way to get rid of Trump. When really, common sense needs to take over. Cancelling events is stupid. It’s basically nanny state-ism. If you don’t want to come into contact with anyone else, then stay home. But don’t force everyone to adhere to this, particularly people under 70 which it poses very little threat to.

Could be stuck in limbo.. Had future bets when cancelled get stuck for almost a year on some books before refunding even after the event was over and done with.. GOOD POINT!!!

All u can read right now is

The NBA is using this hiatus to determine next steps for moving forward

What happens with rookie of year and MVP bets? What about make playoff bets is there any way they start playoffs after less than 82?

Yes

3 options as I see it

Shave reg season and start playoff on time

Delay reg season and playoffs

Cancel remainder of season including playoffs

What really sucks is that I was really banking on this bet to point where I was gonna add another 3k to it to win apx. 20k which I still might but now I'm just stuck in a holding pattern with no idea what to do.

Don't be so confident about your future bet acting like it will cash for sure, that's what get most people rekt. Chances are, you will be thanking god if the season were cancelled cause I dont think lakers nor the bucks are going there buddy.

I guess Mark Cuban was saying nba will be back full scale in 60 days

mcaulay777 · 03-12-20, 11:28 AM

I have Nba 2k and Nhl 2020.I can play the games and livestream and set odds and will have something to bet on.I guess that would be illegal.Nascar and Horse Racing should do everything they can to stay open because people need something to do.We have a Ahl Team the Wild no statement has been made yet about the game.

That was just Cuban thinking out loud, nothing more.

But he did bring up the point that they have a long time to get through the season even if it’s a short season.
