Re(1): #18: Do you get a little crazy on the getaway game?

Depends on what you call crazy....lol

If I'm behind by $80 or $100, yeah, I might bet more on the last game to try to get even. The first trifecta I ever hit at jai-alai was the 12th game at Bridgeport, when it was single points. I had not cashed a ticket for the first 11 games, playing $12 a game on quinellas, so I was down $132. For the 12th game, I decided to play trifectas, and spent $24 on twelve straight $2 tris. Castro I/Esteben ran six straight single points their second time up to bring in the 173, which paid $356.00, oddly (evenly??) giving me a profit of exactly $200.00 for the day.

I have bailed out in the last game a number of times.....and also lost more in the last game a number of times.....but I do tend to try to recoup in that last game when I'm behind, and I sit on my profits if I'm ahead. But I NEVER play the superfecta.
