After the global epidemic that started in 2019, there were problems not only in football but also in all sports branches. However, sports branches that appealed to the audience live, such as football, were more affected.
Even if normalization begins towards the end of last season, we are getting ready to enter a season that we can call normal.
In this process, especially for football, I think that the big teams lose more power in general. Because supporter support is one of the most important criteria. This season, we will have a more normal season and I think we can watch better matches. Of course, we may also be entering a more enjoyable period for betting.
I believe that the global corona virus epidemic really pushed down the interest for many things like sports gambling but other online gambling was not really one of them. If anything I think the other online gambling casinos branches really profited off the new, bored and locked-down gamblers. But since sports players could not have the freedom to play, it really took the wind out of the fan's sails. I think a large number of sports fans never returned after corona was over (basically over).
But that's just a logical conclusion, I might be completely wrong...
You are right the pandemic brought so many changes, as most physical activities were moved online, but those that could not move online such as football were negatively affected by the coronavirus. This resulted in a delay of many leagues in the last two seasons, but other gambling activities such as casino base games witnessed high traffic and this have lead to.more development in the gambling industry.
