Watching sports is something that most people love to do. For many, it is something to look forward to every weekend and watching good teams play sports is always entertaining. For others watching sports can become much more than simple entertainment, as many use their love of sports to quickly and easily make money. In this way, some people make sports viewing their full-time career.

There are many different ways to make money by simply being a sports fan. Think you know a lot about sports, statistics, and players, and believe your predictions are usually good? Try sports betting. Or do you love writing about sports and posting your opinions on the internet for many to read? Sports blogging might be for you then! This article will break down three ways to earn yourself some money by simply being a sports fan!

Card Collecting and Trading

Sports cards are something that most of us collected and traded with our friends when we were much younger. Back then it was just fun to collect cards of our favourite players and build teams with our card collections. For adults who see the value in sports cards and sports memorabilia, collecting and trading can become very lucrative.

There are many different types of cards, like prospect cards, relic cards, moment cards, and much more that can all be traded or sold for lots of money if it has been properly graded by the correct grading association. Go take a look around your house for any old boxes of sports cards – you never know, you might be sitting on a fortune!

Sports Betting

The sports betting industry has started to grow rapidly all around the world, as many people have realised that making money from placing bets on sports matches is a calculated way to make watching sports profitable. Even leading real money pokies sites now also offer sports betting as the activity has become so popular. These online casinos have extended their reach accordingly, and provide all kinds of gambling, rather than just slots and table games. The top betting sites also feature great odds and they tend to make sports betting a profitable and low-risk money-making method.

If you feel like you understand a certain sport, or feel like you know what certain players can produce on the field, then sports betting might be a safe way for you to make a fortune while simply sitting back and watching your favourite teams take to the field.

Sports Blogging

If there’s one thing that sports fans love to make known after watching a sports match, it’s their opinions on the teams, individual players, and refs. There is never any neutrality when it comes to sports, and what happens on the field is often up for interpretation.

If you want to discuss sports online, feel like you have a knack for writing, and understand the discourse that surrounds certain teams, players, and tournaments, then a career as a sports blogger might be exactly the path you need to follow. You can work from home and share your opinion with likeminded fans – and those who perhaps need a bit of convincing.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
