    yes of course, however covid 19 is 9 times more contagious then the flu, so you can imagine the difference and the impact of the need of a vax right now.

    Can't speak for other leagues

    5D took the start of baseball odds off the board. I wonder why.

    Because of yesterday's news. I personally don't think it means much, but it had many convinced that there would be no baseball this year.

    Talk here of EPL basically quarantining entire teams and then rushing through the rest of the season without crowds. It's perhaps workable for single-nation sports, especially ones with so much TV money.

    thats so simple

    everything else is illusion

    beware that covid 19 mutates, so some vax might be useless
    I completely disagree with everything you just said

    I think MLB will be playing regular season games by July.

    Anyway, excellent thread. Please keep posting the odds as they change (especially MLB).

    I don’t think Bookmaker has lines on these.

    I think where the Crazy part will come in to play is to address players on last year of their contract are free agents at 6pm on June 30

    so they'll have to come up with a crazy plan to consolidate a season and playoffs, prob at neutral sites not in major cities

    or come up with a crazy deal to keep players playing on a team they are no long contractually obligated to play for

    Yeah I hadn’t even thought of that.

    The money making possibilities will be a great motivator for both sides.

    players will be paid no matter what. So I don't see their motivation being based on $. Huge amounts of them will want to play no matter what i'm sure. We will see what the players union and outspoken libtard players, owners and coaches say. (think Cuban, Popavich, James)


    I'd love to know how the NBA/TV contracts work with the commercials now.

    who gets fuked? The companies that bought commercials already or the TV stations that don't have any games to broadcast?

    seems to me the NBA will get the bulk of their $ they normally make (tv deals) whether they play or not

    you might be right actually

    cases in USA are quadrupled in the last week

    if its going like this it means :

    by the end of this week : 350 - 500 k cases

    by the end of next week : 1.2 m - 2 m cases

    by the end of overnext week : 5 - 10 mln

    by the end of april : 15 - 30 mln

    by the end of may : 150 mln

    by the end of june : everyone gets recovered

    so july start of mlb is realistic


    imho it wont happen like that as trump will get pressed to announce a national quarantine till 15 th april

    Toronto bans all public events until June 30...Looks like the Canadian teams won't be playing before that.

    they could play like 50 road games in a row or temporarily relocate to buffalo or maybe share a stadium with detroit/cleveland/pittsburgh/ny/boston?

    The United States recently finished our "15 days to slow the spread" (which was always ridiculous) and now it's turned into another 30 days (which will turn into another 30). Most states are only issuing shelter in place orders for like 15-30 days at a time, even though it's likely to be longer. I don't know what MLS is doing, but any date an organization puts out mean zilch right now. I mean, we're still in the very early stages of this thing. It's going to get a lot uglier before anyone can even begin to speak intelligently about potential start dates.

    I agree with you that MLS putting out a start date now means zilch but the “very early stages of this thing” was 3 weeks ago. NYC death rate peak is believed to be 6 days from now.
