While mainstream athletics are on hold, gaming has seen a big increase in participation as well as viewership on twitch. Las Vegas is now allowing betting on multiple leagues, including Counter-Strike, Overwatch, Dota 2, Call of Duty League, and League of Legends.

 

Esports has been growing, but the coronavirus pandemic may allow it to blow up in a way that few thought could happen so early.

As soon as sports comes back, it'll be gone from Vegas.

It's like the future has got here many years faster because of this.

You can bet on iRacing as well which is shown on Fox. However qualifying is at 12:50 and you have to have your picks in at 1:10. I think it is possible to end up with drivers who didn't qualify.
