JAI-ALAI -- SPORT TO LIVE OR DIE WITH





Here is a game that works to the extremes. Most people in the world have never even heard of it. The fastest ball speed of any known game..... The instant possibility of being maimed for life..... And, for the audience, some of the highest pay off betting known in any sport.


Do you have to be a bit crazy? Almost, at least willing to gamble in every aspect of the sport. I have seen the game played in Mexico, and it is WILD, absolutely wild, and almost too fast to follow. Every person playing and watching pours off tons of adrenalin.


Here is a US news documentary on Jai-Alai in Florida:

Rick Warren and Joel Osteen ought to get up a team and play Jai-Alai in church. That should get all the nervous nut cases to go to church.


Played in three walls and the floor-- Pray that the net, in place of the fourth wall, and through which you watch the game, stops that 150 MPH ball that goes astray:

Here is a fast look at some behind the scenes activity. Sorry about he frantic music:



HERE IS A NEW SPORT-- A BIT LESS DEADLY THAN JAI-ALAI
