They're too obsessed with a rock formation that barely looked like anything, and which collapsed despite massive investment to preserve. No one like that is fun to be around and this is a whole state's worth of people

Come on now, they’re very tolerant of people who just want to live free! I mean, if you don’t the options are a little limited and not much fun, but…

Live free or die but the following things are not allowed:

  • weed

  • gambling

  • Prostitution

It's a great distraction. I live in Maine but my workplace is based in NH. While I mostly work from home, when I am on-site, I stock up on cheap booze.

I think you can definitely sports gamble in NH but not in Maine... At least on the common sports gambling apps.

EDIT: you can't legally sports bet in Maine if not in one of the two casinos.

Not sure the down votes, the internet is weird... Open the DraftKings or any gambling app on your phone right now and try to bet on a sports game. It will tell you that based on your location you can't place a bet.

Tonight when I'm in NH working, it will let me do it no problem.

Hell the PPH had an article a few weeks/month back where they interviewed a guy from Berwick who was literally driving across the border to place bets - it was the focus of the article that Maine hasn't allowed it yet despite being "legal".

I'm aware we have two casinos - would HARDLY describe either as "full size" in the casino world. They exist though, I agree.

Source: was at the Oxford Casino two weekends ago,and live here too. And frequently work in NH where I can legally sportsbet from my phone.

You may be right. It'll be legal in Maine soon*

*May be years if it takes as long as adult use weed

Yah I think in Maine it's legal but they are embarking on an 18 month "rule making" process... Because Maine.

I can place my sports bets on DraftKings in New Hampshire when I'm working but as soon as I get to Maine it tells me no.

Crosswise I can buy a fat bag of delicious weed in Maine but as soon as I get to New Hampshire they tell me no.
