[PUGSLEY]

Will anyone plese enlighten me about this game.

1. What is the object of the game?
2. How are scores computed?
3. From what country did the same originate?
4. Why is this considered a game of chance?

Thanks!!

Mayroon bang nanonood sa inyo ng jai-alai sa TV? It comes on at around 12midnight sa PTV-4. It is amazing to see girls watching the games live at the pronton at that time...wonder what really brings them there?

Any idea how big a following does jai-alai have among Filipinos? (Kahit sa Metro Manila lang).

[broom]

me!!! i watch jai alai on tv almost everyday! hahaha for some odd reason, na-adik ako panoorin sya! the first time i watched jai alai on tv was last march, i think...na-curious lang ako, kaya medyo pinanood ko siya ng konti then bigla ko na lang pinapanood every night! kaka-aliw yung contest nila don

[KeyserSoze]

Yeah! I watch Jai-Alai whenever I can. Grabe ang lalaki ng braso nila no? Puro pa Spanish yung players...

Nirebote!

[AteRonee]

broom, KeyserSoze:Wow, 'kala ko kami lang ni KuyaDanny ang naaliw na manood nitong jai-alai sa TV.

Not that we are addicts but when we switch channels around that time of the night, tapos madaan namin yung jai-alai, nood kami. We find the Lady Swing Jackpot portion really amusing...kakatawa!!!

Pero wala na pala yung Lady Swing Jackpot. It was changed to Professional Pelotari Swing na ngayon??

EWAN!

PERO LAGI KONG NAKIKITA SA TV IAN E...

[fridoh]

Nakapanood na ako ng ilang games sa TV. Ang alam ko the players are competing with each other, they are numbered 1 to i don't know. Tapos yung unang maglalaro ay yung 1 and 2, the object is to hit a shot so that your opponent would not able to cathch it and make a return hit. Of course there are end lines where the ball should not go beyond that.
Yung matatalo ay papalitan nung susunod na player, the winner will stay until sya naman yung matalo. btw a point is given kapag nanalo ka! Race to something points ang game tapos kapg may nakaabot na sa point na yon tung top three players na may top three scores panalo. Yung tatlong numbers ng tatlong nanalong players ang tinatayaan ng mga nagsusugal.
Kunwari nanalo si Estipona (8), 2nd si Gorka (5), at 3rd si McSarili (3). ang lalabas na nanalo sa sugal ay yung tumaya ng numerong 853. Hindi ko alam kung may nag tie sa third spot.
Mukha ba akong sugarol sa mga nilagay ko dito? I haven't tried betting in Jai Alai nagkataon lang na madalas kong mapanood ito sa tv.

[imogen]

hmmm honestly di ko din siya magets pero nakikita ko siya palagi sa ptv 4... ang alam ko lang, may bola silang sasaluhin at ihahagis uli with the use of a basket...

[broom]

cesta tawag dun, bon! yung sinasabi mong parang basket

[westbound17]

Jai Alai is back!

[jpmarkcarlo]

bumalik na Jai Alai ah, nasa SolarTV!!!


kaso..... sina Estipona, Eduardo, Daniel, Madrigal at Sandoval na lang ang dating pelotaris dyan at yung kastilang si Ugarte na lang ang nandyan halos lahat baguhan na!!!!


mas maganda sana kung nandyan sina Quijote, McSarili, Socrates, Catbagan, Lorenzo II, Michael at lalo na si Neil pati na rin yung kastilang sina Gorka, Larrea, Osa, Conrado at lalo na si Cancio


sa ngayon nagagalingan ako kay Zeleta!!!

[spidurrman23]

oo napapanod ko rin *** jai alai sa tv kaso di ko gets? diba ito *** favorite sports ng mga betters and politicians?? i dont know why though i just heard.

[BeerhandBop]

so... parang kabayo.. Lol.

i guess the returns are similar with kabayo. pero.. the odds of winning the combination's kinda small.

tayaan nalang ang basketball - 50/ 50 pa ang chance of winning!

[westbound17]

^

yup just like horseracing but the difference is mas madali magbenta ng laban.

nasa Cagayan Valley sila naglalaro, i wonder kung babalik pa sila dito sa Manila.

Madami pa ring aficionados ng Jai Alai kahit hindi na sa Manila ginagawa yung laro.
