For years, I shut down competely after the Super Bowl until August, but I've been full time the last 2-3 years, mostly thanks to the folks who post here.
Not a complete vacation as there is cbb out there. I slow down considerable when the cfb bowl games are over anyway. Super Bowl game just a very small bet for me anyway.
Probably a short break, a week or two. Last year Feb, all 28 days, was my best month. But I started to burnout. Luckily my FROGs are fat enough to loaf around for some time. But I was supposed to take a short break in July, and was too hot too stop. Could be similar situation. I have one more year of landscaping. Raspberries, rose garden, fruit trees and a couple of fish ponds. Maybe part time it. I guess the real answer is no, basketball is my best sport.
