Well said, Orlando Jai Alai!

Nice words...you are all doing a great job, and I think you have seen that live jai alai is where it's at, along with some simulcasting, and the Orlando fans are the best supporters right now. Moreover, your involvement in advertising and promoting the fronton during off season for other interests has come a long way. So, well done!

From a seasoned fan such as myself, with betting interest, I would HIGHLY encourage you to keep that PIK 4 bet again this year. (I don't think the guaranteed amount is really necessary, or lower it to maybe 1,000.) But that bet drew a big interest across the board. Also, we need one superfecta doubles game with the featured players...maybe around game 12, then you can end with the singles game if you want. Just a suggestion. It would also be nice to add the superfecta wager with one dollar minimum wagering and a carrover of the whole thing it no one hits all 4 numbers. (If you make it a 10 cent wager, there will never be a carrover and rarely, if ever, a big payoff.) The support for that bet would probably generate some huge super payoffs! Wagering excitement is what is needed more of in this sport, and neither Miami nor Dania offer any big pool wagering with a carrover like this. I've asked for this for a long time. Certainly, it could not hurt to try it, and it would cost you nothing more do it, since there is no guaranteed amount.

And of course, having two tournament...well, you saw the fan support. Also, just understand, until the economy rebounds (long way off) fans can't spend what they used to. But, again, so far...VERY well done.
