If the virus shutdown has shown us anything we can all agree on, it\u2019s that Pennsylvania<\/strong> people are adaptable.<\/p>\n

For instance, online poker<\/strong> seats are filling up nightly, boosting prize pools. Table tennis<\/strong> matches, Belarusian soccer<\/strong>, and a limited number of horse races<\/strong> are still filling the sports betting void.<\/p>\n

And then futures wagering in the Keystone State reminds us there will be a better tomorrow for bettors, even if it still doesn\u2019t include the presidential election.<\/p>\n

Poker is playing above its head in PA<\/span><\/h2>\n

Catering to an increasing player pool, the first-ever Pennsylvania Spring Championship of Online Poker<\/b> (PASCOOP) is underway via PokerStars PA<\/b>. Players are out in significant numbers, creating large fields with prize pools exceeding guarantees.<\/p>\n

PokerStars PA has seen increases in traffic since casinos and other establishments shut down in mid-March.<\/p>\n

Even before the tournament series began, most evenings were seeing\u00a03,000-4,000<\/b> or more seats filled across the site. That\u2019s double the number seen previously. The first weekend of PASCOOP saw that number jump to around 6,000.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

PASCOOP features 100 tournaments and runs through\u00a0Monday, April 20<\/strong>\u00a0with the scheduled guarantees totaling $2 million<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0PASCOOP Main Event<\/b>\u00a0happens Sunday, April 19, the \u201cHigh\u201d version of which features a\u00a0$300 buy-in<\/b>\u00a0and a\u00a0$200,000 guarantee.<\/b> The \u201cLow\u201d will have a $50 buy-in<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0$100,000 guarantee<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The full PASCOOP schedule\u00a0is online.<\/p>\n

You can wager on table tennis, just don\u2019t call it ping pong<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since March 22, table tennis \u2013 ping pong is a trademarked name of one manufacturer \u2013 has been the top sport bet each day at PlaySugarHouse<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0BetRivers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s of course because the NHL<\/strong>,\u00a0NBA<\/strong>,\u00a0and\u00a0MLB<\/strong> seasons are in limbo, leaving Pennsylvania sportsbooks<\/strong> looking for what remains in the pantry\u00a0of PA\u2019s nine online sportsbooks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s Chinese Taipei basketball and Liga Pro short hockey. There\u2019s also soccer from Belarus and Nicaragua, a country that continues playing a roster of sports despite the global pandemic.<\/p>\n

There is even some horse racing from\u00a0PABets via TVG<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0FanDuel Racebook<\/strong>. Race offerings are, however, limited.<\/p>\n

Look to the future for some bright spots<\/span><\/h2>\n

A failure to communicate briefly made it appear West Virginia<\/strong> was going to offer legal 2020 presidential election betting<\/a>, but it was quickly retracted.<\/p>\n

That means the remaining excitement beyond table tennis and such are the futures markets<\/strong> for sports.<\/p>\n

And there are a ton of those offered, too many to list here, but list them we did in a detailed PlayPennsylvania<\/em> story.<\/p>\n
