Like you can say ā€œi played Jai alai once at a bachelor party in Tampa Floridaā€

@jazznutUVA causally responds: great sport! Once when I was stationed in Timbuktu I played semi pro for the Generals version of jai alai that played against the Mali national team

Iā€™ve always wanted to try it. Have you ever watched it on ESPN the Ocho? They have that professional league in Miami.

Cyclones vs Renegades on tonight at 1900.

Iā€™ve watched itā€¦pretty boring honestly. Like a slower paced game of squash. But I guess people like to bet on it?

So among squash, pickleball, jai alai, tennis, racketball, etcā€¦ my FAVORITE racket sports are badminton (mentioned before many times) and Padel (pickelball with walls!)

EDIT: I still want to try Jai Alai thoughā€¦

Gonna be honest the titles are weird and create this vibe of a boys club when in reality the forum is for everyone, no one more or less important in their fandom and contributions and what they bring to the table as far as their UVA experience goes. Inclusiveness, not exclusiveness. (maybe the ability for each user to give themselves their own title?)

Just my opinion though and of course I donā€™t want to kill anyoneā€™s vibe

You have to check it out in person. There are frontons all over FL. It makes lacrosse look like childā€™s play and the ball travels at 100+ mph (I have no idea how the cesta doesnā€™t break)

We have reached peak gambling so if it is a competition there is likely gambling on it

Not sure if there is any action on cup stacking or spelling bees yetā€¦

Id be all on on betting spelling Bs. Putting your dreams on the hopes a 12 yr old doesnā€™t choke under pressure. Thatā€™s some action

We have not gotten anywhere near peak. I could bet right on my TV in Europe with my remote controlā€¦

I could bet on reality TV results, political elections, Next king or queen. Etc.

We will reach critical betting mass when you can prop bet ANYTHING!
