Sports fans revolution
Sports fans RevolutionBy Sports Handicapper Ron Raymond

Welcome to "What's in it for me" generation of sports fans!
Darwin once said, "…. Natural selection only works with a little 'of subsequent modifications, can never make a large and sudden leap, but must go short and safe, but slow steps. "That's why you can not change things for the extreme measures, because he felt a shock to the system. My favorite example is the automobile, to see how development has progressed since the '60 Mustang 's Shelby GT 500 is today?
In my opinion, therefore, that Internet gambling is when it's time to accept the masses and top decision makers, such as gambling in all its forms is socially approved a large part of society, but is slowly there, help poker, horse racing and fantasy-league players.
Nortel Networks is an important slogan in '90, "what you want on the Internet?"
The same can be said of the sports world of today is not like your father and grandfather in the world of sports. In those years, nobody has talked about wages, and everyone had a favorite player and team. Since the development of Internet, the current generation of young fans want a different interest in the sport and because sports betting and fantasy leagues are out of personal loyalty and sports teams. In today's world of sport bettors and fantasy players are more interested in a number of teams and players on certain nights. It's all about "What's in it for me" tonight to win my bet, or collect a certain number of points of fantasy!
The development of sport, business, and how to watch sporting events force us to make the investments that we have and the following sports. When you think sports fans are now paying to watch the game, which is not in their local markets, forcing them to make a decision and investment. Do you really think that the average sports fans want to pay $ 400 and $ 1000 a year, a special sports package, because it is a form of entertainment? Maybe some, but most of the younger generation and a half of sports fans are watching because they are "particularly interested in" play, or if you can see.
It is not about following a series of team or player more, is now the issue of personal interests and the outcome of the game. One of these forms of betting interest, whether we like it or hate, is here to stay! Internet has been kept out of the ad network to allocate funds and therefore you can see from the newspaper industry is losing money every quarter. In fact, according to a report last week, Bloomberg, "Journal of Advertising is now up to eight direct quarter … the dollar amount fell to $ 8. 43 billion, which sounds like a lot of ads, until it is shared by the entire local press, regional and national levels. "Other reports indicate that they have not seen a bill, from the early 80s, which means that the Internet is a great role in all aspects, and since it leads to the funds are no longer, that will force consumers to pay "on demand" entertainment, such as "sports watch. "
Which brings the question of when a new "revolution of fans of the sport" that is happening? If I'm going to spend $ 400 to $ 1000 for sports packages and pay per view events, you should consider some kind of investment over the stock market, did not. Fantasy sports bettors or players in the league, which invest in these sports package, wants to slice the pie in some way, so that they can return the return on investment! Players leave teams, does not care about you or the team, who are concerned about the economic advantage that allows personal growth. When the sports media to understand this is about following a team or player, and more to meet your needs, so sports fans will start a revolution to happen. When a player is a free agent or be traded, do you really take into consideration the fans? Of course, it is not in their interest, such as fantasy sports bettors, and to provide interest, while watching the game.
What can we expect for the future of our sport, radio and TV stations? I can see the stations as ESPN, Fox Sports may be less popular, like the Sports Center is not responsible for the type of performance shows that deal with the most recent performance as a ratio of exchange, that fantasy sports and sports betting into a corner . Instead of talking about last night's game, look for sports handicappers and bettors in the role of regulating and hyping the night playing games, and tips to help their advantage at night. Moreover, all the sports press is becoming all "on-demand in the world, so be prepared to pay to listen to your radio station and television over the next 7-10 years. Again, you can not shock the system "to make drastic changes, because everything is done with small steps, and then you have a negative rebellion by those who do not want to pay or accept the new world order of sport.
This is a new generation of sports fans out there today and no matter who wins or loses, just covering the child grows! Prepare to join the new revolution in sports, and as the slogan goes, "What would you like sport?"
