Life of a player after the season ends

[mirakal]

I am not such a big football fan that I measure my life by the beginning and end of the season. However, I watch football from time to time and place bets. And after the end of the season, I recommend switching to another sport. I would even say differently. You need to maintain interest in other sports on a regular basis in order to get the maximum experience as a player and so that you do not get bored with one sport. Especially if you play for fun, as many players write about.

Even myself, I love football but I don’t limit myself on just a single sport. I have also fond for other games like basketball and boxing. That way, when one season of sport ends, then no worries, I can always manage myself to enjoy the other games available, I guess that’s one edge of being a flexible one.

You don’t just bet out on a single sport, you need to bet in other games as well so that you can compare which game is most likely making you profitable, and which is more likely making you less profitable. After all, it’s not just the profits, but the experience as well.

I love to watch football and also I love the excitement about earning some perks from the games that’s why I also place bets, the season is all fun for me from the first game to the last, I am big on a lot of football matches but I have bigger love for the top five leagues.
I have lots of fear or things that can drop my happiness level a bit and one of the is when the football season starts ends. I don’t know if I am the only one that feels this. Yes the season hasn’t ended but should may 30th after the Uefa champions league final match and the thought after that is actually not something I am happy about lol.
So as a football lover how is your season break like? What do you do to support your craving for football or do you just find another sport or entertainment to cope with during this time?

Just like I told some of my offline football friends some days ago, most especially those that support team that lost out in this season like Manchester City and Real Madrid, I told them that as some of their players are going on injury treatment, they also need some mental treatment because of the stress that came along with they defeat in this season, so I believe that what most football fans should do right now most especially those that they club have messed with they emotions in this season.

This is another great idea, whereby we don't only rely on playing a single game, but instead, we play on other games aside football like tennis, hockey, boxing and many other interesting games that could keep us engaged always in having fun, so that we may have something to fall back at, each time the season ends, while some gamblers do combine playing other games even in season just to have fun from different kinds.

While waiting for a new season to start, I go on a season break too for football. Though, I had a reduced interest on football, having gotten some heart breaks from my team those years, for now I just watch, on some reason like, a must watch game, which team will survive this battle and for betting as well.

It's a good thing you can enjoy other games just like football, sadly I can't say same since I've built my life around no other sports but football. I hardly understand what other sports are doing, I know it's an issue with my lack of interests but I can't help it as at now.

It's a good thing not to have Monopoly of sports since it's obviously one sided, but the fact that other smaller leagues are still on for longer still gives me a sense of belonging. Maybe I'll try to look into cricket and volleyball going forward.

But you don't need to push yourself into liking other sports. If the season ends, like for example in football, you can just do other worthwhile activities while waiting for another season. Because if you will find another sports but you are not comfortable with it, I guess, you won't enjoy watching and betting in that particular sports. At the end of the day, it is you who will decide what to do afterwards, right?

Am sure lots of people are going to be affected by the season thats about to end,   You are going to see that lots of people are going to divert into the sport which they have little or no knowledge about, or leagues which they don’t really know much about, and they going to start losing money unnecessarily. If am gambling, I do place bet on only football, and I focus on premier league, champions league, FA cup and Europa league. Immediately all this leagues ends, I will reduce the way I gamble, I can just be spending some little amounts of money on other sports just to check them out.

I think it all comes back to each person perspective, after the domestic leagues and European competitions that are often followed end later, we can choose to take a break or bet on other leagues. It's okay to bet on other types of games, as long as you are still able to maintain the limits, and more importantly, keep the initial capital safe to face the next season. Meanwhile, if you choose to take a break, this can be a momentum to try other activities besides gambling. The Champions League and Conference League are not over yet, we will soon witness the final match in the near future. That is the last chance to bet and hopefully you are lucky.

I understand your point though, but we have to understand that the break is very important for players as well the team, in other to prepare themselves for the next season. During preseason the management board of the teams strategize on how to advance the performance of the team to the next level considering their previous season's performance.  This is where teams start bidding for new players and making use of some benched player or academy players to rate their skills and teamwork spirit. So in essence the break or preseason is also a very important time for the team to metamorphos to a better version of themselves.

Yeah it is also frustrating for me, i don't like to gamble on teams in leagues that i do not watch, so as soon as the top leagues go on their summer break, i take it that club football is at a halt. I do miss football during this period, but this year there is the world club cup and we are experiencing it in a new format, so that is something to watch and gamble on the games, at least before the season starts again. You can also try gambling on slot games, it is fun.

There are always opportunities but as bettors are used to the idea of betting only on popular leagues because we believe that they are the only categories we can get good results from...when the season ends it gives you an opportunity to explore other leagues and other options as well... sometimes sticking only to what you know can keep you static, for me I usually stop betting when the season ends but I'm going to change that idea

Sticking to what you know can keep you static, but sometimes it saves you from unnecessary gambling mistakes. Betting only on what you are familiar with makes it easier for you to analyze the game much more easily than when you go into unpopular and unfamiliar games. You can end up approaching it blindly because you lack all you need, although you can always give it your time to learn about it, but some usually aren't worth it.

[DaNNy001]

I think what will be missed is the excitement from the top leagues or 5 leagues you also talked about namely EPL, la Liga, Seria A, bundesliga, and French league. Gamblers miss watching them but they manage with gambling from the Asian leagues, friendly matches etc. There is always something to gamble on only the fun watching those favourite leagues will be missed. So for gamblers seeking for making money from gambling, they still have to go on gambling but fun seekers will miss the top leagues more.

In the aspect of entertainment this is the part that would be missed a lot of bettors and football fans, most bettors love the challenge and competition that the big leagues bring to the table...even though the outcomes can be disappointing it's also exciting to get surprised, that's what makes it entraining..like you said, the end of the season doesn't stop anyone from gambling, football games are still going on you just have to choose carefully

Life is not all about sports and betting. I once replied to OP, but I assume he didn't see my post or chose not to reply. I suggested that OP not rely on one sport, especially not on a single league. If he does not like other sports, he could watch movies, go outside, and enjoy himself with friends. Also, one should focus on their work or develop some skills to build their career.

I personally do not even have enough time to watch matches even when my favorite team plays, that's how much busy I am with my works. Sometimes I wonder how people manage to watch ODI cricket matches?

I believe that depends on how you are as a gambler. I know some people who are really in control of their habits, so they pause for a while and just wait for the season to come back. Addicted players probably are looking for other avenues to satisfy their cravings, and that would be a hard thing to control, in my opinion. Make sure that you are controlling yourself and managing risk.

How is it? Fucked up, that's how it is!
Seriously, for me it's like taking a holiday break from work. Especially now that the soccer system is putting the teams starting to play more soon. The time without soccer games becomes smaller, and that for us, the soccer lovers, is good news. I really doubt though, that the players and coaching staff see it as positively as we do.

You are absolutely correct, a gambler who can not endure some months after a season ends for the season to begin again before he or she starts betting is surely an addicted gambler and such a person need to find a way to help him or herself..

I used to have a friend who was in this category when we were still together before I relocated to the place I live currently, he was a such gambler that if a match season ends, he would move to betting on other sports he has no knowledge of, even to the extent he bets on dog and horse race whereas he knows absolutely nothing about any of this games, he would lose money and come to me for help, I advised him the best I could before we parted, really hope he's doing fine where ever he is today..

This is another great idea, whereby we don't only rely on playing na single game, but instead, we play on other games aside football like tennis, hockey, boxing and many other interesting games that could keep us engaged always in having fun, so that we may have something to fall back at, each time the season ends, while some gamblers do combine playing other games even in season just to have fun from different kinds.

But you don't need to push yourself into liking other sports. If the season ends, like for example in football, you can just do other worthwhile activities while waiting for another season. Because if you will find another sports but you are not comfortable with it, I guess, you won't enjoy watching and betting in that particular sports. At the end of the day, it is you who will decide what to do afterwards, right?

You're right as well, getting involved by doing other things is also a good idea for a player's life after the season, I think this also is a good and lucrative idea that we take some time to rest or engage in doing other things than sports activities, this could be having time enough with the family, going on vacation, working on other things that concerns your career and being creative, this will give us a more refreshing moment when the season begins, because we already had enough time on other things during off season.

A very good point there, something we engage ourself in for a very long time non-stop become very tiring and uninteresting over time as time passes, this is why it is very important to take breaks.

Take the day and night for example, God made the day for us to work, and the night for us to rest because he know how important taking a rest is, if He wanted man to work non-stop, He wouldn't have made the night where men fall asleep after a long day at our various working places..

Same applies to our gambling activities during sports seasons, when the season is over, it's time for gamblers to have that rest and wait for another season, rather than forcefully engaging in other sports we have no knowledge of.

Betting on football just because you know it is like being an analyst who backs up his words with money, but it sounds absurd to be honest. If you bet just for the fun of it, it is unlikely to be a bet on every match just to place a bet. Usually, if a bet is placed for fun, it is on a match that the player will watch himself, because it is more interesting that way

Actually what you said is right but in reality not everyone does that, that they will bet on a game or match and enjoy that match at the same time.
Maybe in the case of some teams they can sometimes do this if they have a favorite team, besides if they want to bet on multiple sports or matches in a day then they have to sit in front of the TV all the time which most gamblers do not do. If I say about mine I also do like this.

When the season is over for the matches I think there's need to observe a break and that's what i do, but during the season I place my bets on my favourite sports and get the fun and happiness that I want but that not withstanding if there should be an end in the season I won't panic and I'll definitely see it as a means of observing the moment or let's say having a break in by betting for awhile. But an added advantage to enhance my passion and love for football I'll go with playing with some friends in the neighborhood that's what I love doing.
