Some of the sports leagues that got canceled due to the pandemic already finished with their respective resumes with some still on-going and lots of future events will take place under the new normal setup.

We have seen how these leagues put big efforts to somehow bring the sports back while people don't need to go outside to watch. They also think of a way on how to help players feel that the intense and excitement is still there performing in front of the fans.

Even with low ratings and small revenue (as expected), I consider this new normal setup as a success. It's not that easy to set up an own bubble amid the dangerous pandemic.

Kudos to their effort.

It's like nothing really happens and nothing is missing but the live crowd, the enthusiasm are still there, but you wished that you were there on all those actions,

actually there is more changes like what you said,the crown is missed by the players and the momentum feeling when they are on your side.
But of course this is not permanent and will change back again sooner because the vaccine is near to come.

but players very well know that fans are rooting and cheering for them and that make them play great even without the crowd
everybody are praying that things will be back to normal so all missed seeing a live matches.

Players are feeling different now and we can see that in the games that happening now,their performance really changed and their also the home court
advantage is gone for now.

Kudos to the NBA bubble for the successful continuations of the 2020 season and post season without recording a single positive case with corona all throughout their stay in Orlando. Though there are a handful of protocol breakers but still it ended with a successful outcome.
It's just sad that the NBA finals has the lowest TV rating of all time which exceeded their expectations in a negative way.
Nonetheless, that doesn't matter for sports bettors like us anyway.
The premier basketball league in my country has just started their own bubble as well and I wish them goodluck and a successful run.

100% they have given their best effort even if the situation is very much different from what they always see and feel, the fans who are watching at homes are the one who thinks that the games is more like an exhibition match but when the game started the intensity is this still there, these players and these competitors are professional and the organization where they belong must be so proud that they have given these matches to another level.

Well, the stadiums(open ones esp) and fields seem to be some of the few places I have heard about where "customers" aren't allowed to come in even with the social distancing and other safety measures obeyed. I think safety rules should be followed and the safety measure of policy makers shouldn't be inconsistent and unnecessarily extreme. This is to avoid putting people who are following the extreme measures that are not necessary in serious danger. Qualify people should make the rules and we should be guided by them or stick to them.
The pandemic rules seem not be consistent unfortunately. They give this rule and do something else.

They adjusted into the new normal and that is what makes this new game setup for different sports a successful.
Revenue doesn't matter right now since its understandable that we are in a pandemic still and that would be better than just to cancel the whole season.

I'm quite happy still that I've watched the sport I love to watch and that is basketball. This is a success for the sports industry for sure

Yup! Whether it's boxing, MMA, football, basketball etc, I'm very glad because the sports industry is slowly backing on its track once again. I'm so thankful especially to NBA bubble's success because the basketball organization of our country got inspired to it and continue their games as well

I would agree on the part where they got low revenue compared before but when it comes to ratings I think the opposite is happening. Why? Because lot of sport fans are hungry to watch thus became more excited and interested to watch the long awaited games. Perfect proof is the huge number of views on their live streamings and other videos.

There are still so many restrictions for every sport set up, we should still be careful to the pandemic because it has a big possibility to spread if the game will not be properly organized and without proper preparations. The sports event should always prioritize the safety of their players and fans, that is why they should still implement a strong social distancing for every seat of the audience, they should also provide a disinfectant area for every audience. Things will be good if we will prioritize the safety of our audience and at the same time giving them good entertainment.

It is better than nothing, I am happy that some sports like basketball and UFC were able to resume with some adjustments. They need to find an alternative way to resume, I honestly think that NBA was successful, even people cannot watch it live on the court and there are only virtual audiences and it is only shown on TV they still received a lot of support from avid basketball fans.

Of course, sports event organizers need to find a good way to continue leagues even with the new set-up. It's hard actually, but everyone needs to understand that there are more limitations now because of the pandemic. And yes, it's not the same as before but it's good already to see that they are also trying their best just to resume games to give fans what they want. As long as leagues were able to finish the game safely, it's already considered a success regardless of the new changes and for me, that's what matters.

Yeah, it is a success to be honest. Instead of canceling it for Covid, they took steps to bring back the leagues on. Even though, all those setups (virtual crowd) might seem a bit odd at first, but at least the games are back. The only difference is that all people are now watching the game live instead of being in the game. It is not like everyone goes to watch the game. The average audience watching the NBA game live was almost the same (around 3 million). Then there is this virtual live audience thing for hardcore fans where they are virtually present in the game as a crowd and can cheer for their team.

The revenue dropped, but the ratings are the same as far as I know.

It is still a long way to success in my opinion. If audiences can't see the game first hand then they have more ways to go. The measures should be able to accomodate the audiences live by atleast 75% so that they can get a profit. I won't call it a total success but a milestone.

success is not all about profit or how much will they earn when they resume on a hard situation .

success means that the game can be resumed and it can be finished with less people get harmed by the virus . there are audience that can be able to see the match in real time , they can do that by watching online or via the internet and by going to the actual place .

if all cant enter on the venue they can watch via stream .

Sports do becoming spotlight nowadays especially in betting because there are no other things that could be done during the lockdown. The people nowadays in the lockdown period had sought to find some ways to get out of getting bored so sports and other betting or gambling activities will going get good demand from them.

Now, that pandemic still going on lockdown or community quarantine enhancement are being raised toward every community especially in those areas with high number of cases with covid19.

To start with I guess they would need to start with 50% occupancy and if proper social distance and norms are followed by the people and the country is not recording the cases much then it can increase the capacity accordingly. But again, it will depend upon the authority and the country decision if they need to allow it or just continue for the time beings because finally sports is happening is the biggest thing.

The show must go on. After months postponed or suspended due to the Covid pandemic, sports events have resumed and gradually returning to the schedule but in its activities also considers the risks associated with the spread of the coronavirus.

Hopefully, all the things would settle down and this returning sports event won't increase the spread of the coronavirus and everyone who involved in it will follow the protocols and do preventive measures to reduce the chances of spreading coronavirus.

Yeah! Indeed the new setup to resume each leagues are awesome like what we have seen in the NBA bubbles where they successfully managed to resumed and end the game with no problems. I don't know with the other sports like boxing cause most of the scheduled fight has cancelled or moved to another date due to the pandemic. Anyway, we hope to see another successful season end with the other sports so that they can prepare for the normal season next year.

As long as the games were finished, people had fun watching them, winners and losers were produced, and every player played to their best and everyone acknowledged that you can pretty much assume that it's a success. Yes, this new setup significantly decreases a lot of things, from profits, to possibly motivation, but considering all of those? You can play this as a huge success. And imagine once everything is over, the pandemic is gone, the vaccine is done, the number of people who would enjoy games in studios would spike up, a lot of people would join in in the nostalgia and possibly boost their profits in tournaments to incomparable heights than before.

Well, as long as everyone had fun tbh, that's considered as a success in my book.

This new normal set up for such gaming entertainments are temporary. I am super sure that everything will be back at the normal set up before the pandemic came. But that time, I hope we all get lesson from what happened. It is not good to have another one soon or even in the future. We should do what we can do to prevent these kind to devastate our world again. In my honest opinion, all staffs and players did what they can to set up the bubbles just to give entertainment and this is also another opportunity for gamblers to continue playing. Great effort for them, I believe this is a success for them, congratulations for successfully setting those leagues!

Everything seems good enough. It is hard to strike a balance when the pandemic is still at its peak. But kudos to the league organizers, team owners, players, and everyone else for finding a way to stage great games which somehow alleviate the harrowing condition of the times.

Borrowing Gabriel Garcia Marquez's famous book, Love in the Time of Cholera, I guess we are in this particular phase in which we experience sports in the time of COVID-19.

And thanks to it, sports betting continues. Wink
