Sports betting business usually flattens out during these weeks.
The Bundesliga is taking its winter break, and there will be no more games in this country in January.
Due to the postponement of the schedule in the corona pandemic, there is virtually no interruption this time.
The next game day is already on January 2nd.
So it is played again and also bet.
And even on site and not just on the Internet - at least in Hessen.
As reported by the “Bild” newspaper, betting offices in the state are allowed to reopen despite the nationwide lockdown with closings for large parts of the retail sector.
Frankfurt's head of the public order department, Karin Müller, is quoted as follows: "With the latest Corona regulation, betting offices will be allowed to reopen for the issue and receipt of game tickets and bets."
How is it possible that betting shops are viewed as systemically relevant?
According to the report, Soft Trade Entertainment GmbH has won an administrative dispute against the state of Hesse.
The company, based in Koblenz, earns its money with slot machines, kiosks and betting offices, among other things.

Apparently, the company achieved that betting shops are now viewed as restaurants that can offer their customers take-away meals.
So people are allowed to bet, but not stop at the acceptance points or gather in front of them.
The "Bild" newspaper quotes from an internal letter from the Ministry of the Interior: "According to this, betting shops are from now on (only) permitted to issue and receive tickets and bets.
Any longer stay, for example to follow the games and events to which the bets relate, is not permitted. "
