Went today for my first time. What a crazy ass game. It gets fucking nerve racking when your team or players get in the final rounds. I was one point away from hitting a trifecta that paid $1,300, and the fucking guy overserved. All in all it was a fun.

i used to go when they had it in Milford, CT. fun game to watch, needs more deaths ppl warn about though.

i hear they are heavily fixed.

we tried to buy out the vip box at one for a tgp vip party - we were told it was impossible -it was hinted that some of the regulars were'connected' and you can't even buy their seats for a private party at any cost

Good point. They have single and doubles matches, and I think they have the same 20 or so players play each other year round.
I would seem easy enough to throw a game...and tri's average around a grand each unlike the horses. I can believe it no prob.
Wish I had the inside.

It's just like a 3 sided sqaush game with a bigger court. The ball, a little smaller and harder than a baseball, hits off the walls like a "superball". They catch and throw with some kind of basket attached to their hands untill they miss of goes out of bounds.

And yes... it's a betting sport. (Just like a horse race) 12 games, Win, place, show. Exactas, trifectas etc.
