Miami Jai Alai

Definitely fixed, as an amateur on the court, I eventually became pretty good, just couldn't "rebote" very well, at least not forehand. Backhand I was very strong and if the ball came to me on the wood, forehand throws I could hit the front wall just right so if you didn't "ide" the ball it would split the angle at the back wall and floor and roll off the back wall, called a "chula".

I was asking about Miami because it's still one of the few in the state with year round play.

But as far as fixing goes, in order to spread the trifecta pool equally for a while and then get enough money for the house an odd ball number would come in once and a while with only a couple ticket holders, one of which was always the player's coach, no doubt. 80% of the games were "fixed" in a way that basically said, "ok you stay out of this one" to some of the best players. Other than that they let them play. Even when it looks like an easy catch, sometimes the ball moving slow will mess with your thinking and you just drop it off the tip of the cesta.
