When I lived in Fort Lauderdale, I used to love going to Jai Alai, now it’s pretty much dead because of all the other gambling alternatives.

“I used to love going to Jai Alai, now it’s pretty much dead because of all the other gambling alternatives.”

Same thing with dog racing. I used to love going to Derby Lane in St Petersburg. Did simple bets like $2 win, place or show on a single horse. Nothing crazy or huge. Ate dinner with my mom and brother there in the clubhouse. In general, had a good time.

But with all the other kinds of gambling out there as well as the fact that younger gamblers don’t get into it, dog tracks are slowly going away.

Jai Alai got killed off because ‘they’ decided to unionize. Managaement and the players destroyed an entire sector. Throw in more football and baseball in Florida with other alternate entertainment, and ya have a death sentence for Jai Alai.

Talk about a rigged game ...
