The point I was trying to make is right now Hamilton has invested millions and millions,and even more will be invested. The handle for jai-alai is virtually zippo. Do they STAND PAT or do they try simulcasting.

I realize 4 & 12 cent dollars,won't make it either for Hamilton right now.
But and here's my point, I would imagine by simulcasting building the pools,IN HOUSE attendance will come back, and now your looking at approx 25% & 28%. If they don't simulcast how are they going to get the fans in,with NO pools,the answer NO WAY..

And let's NOT forget,they will be sending out their own signal in time,and as I recall years ago when Hialeah Race Track was in this situation they installed PHONE BETTING right at the track.

I don't have the exact answer,but I'm sure their is one, maybe Orlando would be the first one to take the signal and what about some hubs in Mexico.

And also remember Miami Jai-Alai is not guaranted to be around in 2008, it could leave us fast if slots don't get approved just leaving Dania in the cat bird seat,or making room for Hamilton!
