Jai alai is an awesome game to watch, and bet on, especially if u live in the area and go often enough to get familiar with the players...

We used to go to the fronton on Dale Mabry in Tampa all the time, and loved it....I had alot of luck there too....

Heard recently though, that is isnt even there anymore.....it seems to have died down in the last few years.....but i loved it..

Doesn't it also rank up there with harness racing on the crooked factor?

Very large fronton in Havana Cuba, I hear Fidel Castro never looses there :dancefool

everyone used to say that...i don't know, is it true?

TTinCO · Sep 27, 2005

Couldn't tell ya....I'm in the same boat as you--Just always heard that it was.

I remember going to Newport and my boy Chris used to say the players looked at the ball before the begin of play because it told them who was supposed to win that game....

Not likely bookable. Pools are small and can be manipulated for WPS. You'd need to get the money into the pari-mutual pool. OTB seems the only way.

Not enough interest still exists in the game, betting always was pretty light to begin with.

there was a time you couldn't get a seat.....that died along time ago....

Sure did ! I went to Milford 1st season, minors were allowed in then. I don't think there's any video on net. The game is hard to put on a screen. Watching on a monitor causes the game to lose perspective with the long court.

You can get results no problem. You used to be able to watch it on monitors at Sun poker room and bet it at racebook. I'd think the casinos would still offer that ( except for the poker part at Sun).

I miss the game. Casinos were the end of it ! A vegas casino used to have live jai-alai ( old MGM) back in 80's. That failed.

i enjoy it live, and would enjoy it from my home....

sherman,

you may be able to wager on it at foxwoods, not sure.

dania jai alai in south florida touts a live betting website. I have never tried it. I have spent some nights losing my dough there live in person but never tried their betting website.

go here. http://www.betdania.com

scroll down and there is a link for there on-line betting site and live video feed. It would seem from the website you can bet on-line and watch the games too.

Good Luck, you'll need it. Jai alai is very tough to win at! :howdy:

Thanx Mr. Smith...

WOW, I cannot believe this, but the site says they accept neteller. I am shocked. this is a legit USA gambling house that accepts neteller. Never heard of such a thing. I will have to send them some money and watch Jai alai on-line with some bets in. Jai-alai is a gamblers paradise. You gotta see it in person to understand. It can cause a near heart attack over a $10 bet.

Doug · Sep 28, 2005

I'm surprised ! I won't play online. I assume the funds are pooled with all the rest, it has to be so Fla gets their cut.

Mr.Smith · Sep 28, 2005

I opened an online account but am having trouble logging in. I e-mailed their customer support for help. They are actually advertising a 20% sign up bonus. I can not fukkin belive this! This is a 100% legal USA gambling place which takes neteller and offer a 20% sign-up bonus.

No wonder Antigua or whoever it was who sued the USA is pissed! This site must be under the radar, this is shocking to me........

the website I posted earlier directs you to this website where the betting is. http://www.playrealracetracks.com

you can bet on a lot of horsetacks there and Miami jai-alai and Dania Jai-Alai. I guess this is an offshore site?

Mr.Smith · Sep 28, 2005

they have a sportsbook too.

www.playrealsportsbook.com

this must be offshore. I have no idea who these people are or how solid this is. never heard of this before.

I guess the link from Dania's website is a roundabout way to link to an offshore sportsbook that takes jai alai betting too.
