Magic City Jai-alai superstar, Douglas (Matthew Langhans), reached his 100th win of the 2020 Magic City Jai-alai season in game 5 of Thursday’s 4-pm performance. Douglas also went on to win game 6 singles, game 7 doubles with teammate Limonte, and then game 8 singles. The amazing Douglas almost made it a clean sweep winning all five of his appearances when he had game point in game 9, the only 9-point game on the card. He did finish second in game 9.

Douglas’s win record in singles through the 4-pm performance is an unheard of 42.1% (102 wins in 242 games) and he now has a commanding lead in the quest for the 2020 singles championship where the player with the most wins is awarded $15,000. RonRon (Ronald Madrigal) is in second place in the singles championship with 75 wins and an excellent 28.6% wins (75 wins in 262 games). Tough competitor, Bueno (Chris Bueno), is in 3rd place with 61 wins. Chris Bueno is the son of Benny Bueno, a former famous player at Miami Jai-alai and current player’s manager at Dania Jai-alai. Second and third place in the singles championship pays $10,000 and $5,000.

The “Jai-ly” popular Jai-5 wager was nailed by one winner with all 5-game winners correctly selected for the guarantee of $2,000 with Douglas winning the last 3-games of the bet sequence of games 3-7. Jai-5 tickets cost $1 each and the jackpot can only be won if there is a single winning ticket with all winners correctly selected. Consolation payouts of 40% of the total amount wagered for the performance on the Jai-5 are split among ticket holders with the most winners or multiple ticket holders with all 5-games correctly picked.

Congratulations Douglas on achieving this important milestone! It will be interesting to see if Douglas can hit the 200-win mark for the 2020 season which concludes the end of November.
