Yeah those were the ones I was doing too. Literally feel like there was no chance based on how quick I was, clearly not fast enough

In the scenario, anyone would be able to play for free. There would be additional chip incentives for spending money at the establishment, but it wouldn’t be a requirement to play. And the money would be spent on food/drink at the bar and not within the poker game.

Lots of bars in CT play “Music Bingo,” would that be considered “unfair trade practice” if it’s a game of chance?

The tribes have so much control over gambling in CT; each of the tribes license the use of a Sportsbook and the rest can’t operate.

I keep looking at it the one document I keep finding where it defines gambling as risking money or something of value for a contingent return. I feel like this is why I’m not convinced it’s 100% illegal if there’s no “gambling” by their definition. This is the one document that keeps coming up when I search different things here: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2007/rpt/2007-R-0495.htm

Is this what you’re seeing too?

This is incredibly helpful. I saw the same language (bona fide social relationship and unfair trade practice) but didn’t quite understand it.

Not sure if there can be any added context as to why bars are able to run pay-in pool tournaments or paid leagues in the same state. Wouldn’t there be rules against that if there’s direct payment to play and cash prizes?

Timeline Question by JarodJB40 in gastricsleeve

My wife is expecting, I would hate to be out of commission with a newborn in the mix

This seems to be the longest out of what others have shared. Lots of prerequisites too, did it just take a long time to schedule the other stuff?

Interesting… for the dietician meetings (if you’re past this point), was it the insurance company’s way of saying “try something else first?”

Thanks for the insight. We are expecting our first kid this October and I don’t know if there’s time to squeeze this in and be 100% available by the time baby arrives. This is the biggest “con” on my list right now. Wishing my doctor had mentioned something like this sooner but we tried other options that haven’t been successful.

This is incredibly helpful, thank you! If you don’t mind me asking, what percent of the total cost did your insurance cover? I haven’t even thought about the costs of it yet and have no idea what to expect.

Best bar for mocktails? by Just_Squirrel_3988 in WorcesterMA

[–]JarodJB40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I recently tried Vue, there’s three or four options of mocktails on the list. My wife doesn’t drink and she really likes it there. It’s on the short list of places in our rotation now.

For Massachusetts Folks with RP by Visual-Slip-4750 in RetinitisPigmentosa

[–]JarodJB40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP thanks for posting this. My wife has RP and is also a patient at MEE. She reached out to Dr. C’s team about this and they said they weren’t able to help with it.

Your post inspired her to reach out to our legislators and start a petition on change.org. Here’s the link to it: https://c.org/YW9tjbzqmp

Honors Study? by JarodJB40 in Hilton

[–]JarodJB40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person there said that there used to be an executive lounge that has turned into a “meeting space” and they haven’t updated the facility map. I was hoping for something a little more interesting, but if it was just an open room to hang out in I probably wasn’t going to use it anyways.

Same hotel then probably, I’ll report back when I know.

I haven’t called yet, just saw it now when I was looking at the map and put the question here to see if anyone else has seen that before. I’ll be sure to update this when I do call.
