The 5 Most Popular Sports Teams for Connecticut Fans to Start Betting on

The 5 Most Popular Sports Teams for Connecticut Fans to Start Betting on

© USA Today

Legal Connecticut sports betting sites just went live on Tuesday Oct. 19, following a seven-day soft launch, that started on Tuesday.

Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun opened their retail sportsbooks on Sept. 30 without any issues and the online sports betting soft launch started off smoothly, according to a state spokesperson.

With that being the case, you’ll soon be able to bet on your favorite teams and more at DraftKings Sportsbook, the Moheagan Sun partners and with FanDuel Sportsbook, the Foxwood partner and SugarHouse Sportsbook, the partner of the state lottery.

Bet on Your Favorites Right Here:

Must be 21+ to participate. T&Cs apply.

One thing to note is that there are rules regarding college sports. You can bet on college teams, but not those based in Connecticut. Therefore, you won’t be able to bet on the UConn Huskies or Sacred Heart’s ice hockey team, for example. The only exception is if those teams are in bracketed tournaments, including the NCAA basketball tournament. So when March Madness arrives, take the Huskies if you want.

With that said, here are five teams on which Connecticut bettors could be interested in placing some wagers.

New England Patriots

It’s not always cool to root for the Patriots. However, they’re part of the New England collective. After winning their last Super Bowl in 2019, the Patriots have rebuilt and are now led by rookie quarterback Mac Jones. With Connecticut online sports betting set to go live before…

Sorry Iowa: We Aren’t Getting Enough Free Time in Our Day

I’m pretty sure everyone who works wishes they had more free time. And that would definitely be amazing for a little while. But believe it or not, you would eventually get sick of that too. (Shocking, I know!)

You need more free time

I realize as our tremendous Iowa farmers are in the fields, free time seems like a total anomaly. According to a new study out of the University of Pennsylvania and UCLA and published on a website called Boing Boing, the right amount of free time to have is actually a sort of science as it’s oddly specific. You should have exactly the amount of time they suggest each day.

That amount is two-and-a-half hours a day. No less, but also no more. I guess we need to monitor our downtime with a stopwatch?

No more, no less because… why?

If you have less free time than that, it’ll have a negative impact on how satisfied you are with your life. But if you have more free time than that, you’ll eventually feel like you don’t have enough of a purpose and that will also have a negative effect on how satisfied you are with your life.

Here is a challenge, though. During your free time, try putting your smartphone down, and try doing something away from screens. THAT seems like the real challenge. And I’m not saying I’d do well with it either! Also, you wouldn’t be able to read articles like this one so… maybe use your screen time for a bit of that R&R time? Just a bit.

Commissioners clear zoning for sustainable living and farm center at I-69 and Ind. 332

MUNCIE, Ind. — Zoning has been cleared for development of a 180-acre “sustainable living and farm center” that would feature a hotel, a conference center, a restaurant, a brewery, an amphitheater and golf venue among other amenities at the northeast corner of Ind. 332 and Interstate 69.

A closed gas station sits a the front of the site today.

Developer of the project is Munsee Farms Holdings, LLC, which has connections with Munsee Meats in Muncie and Constant Canopy Farms in Gaston, through Jonathan Lamb and Jason Mauck, who are officers in those enterprises. Lamb is an economist and an owner in the companies. Lamb and Mauck practice regenerative agriculture at Constant Canopy.

Lamb, who also ran in the GOP primary for the 6th Congressional District seat in 2020, said the sustainable farm center is still in its early stages of development with no date set for construction. The rezoning application says Munsee Farm Holdings recently acquired multiple adjacent parcels of land at the site with the “intention of developing an East Central Indiana Regenerative Farming Institute.” 

The development, which is near Yorktown town limits, would promote agritourism and sustainable living.

“The carbon negative agricultural technology hub will demonstrate, train and issue certificates in sustainable, regenerative farming practices, renewable energy and livestock management,” according to the application.

Plans call for the development to feature recreation along with education.

“…The proposal calls for a hotel with an event venue, restaurant, welcome center with with gift shop, a small market, brewery, and gathering place for community outreach.” the document states. “However, what sets this development apart is the inclusion of livestock, for food and energy production and agrivoltaic farming. Agrivoltaic farming is a relatively new concept; in simplest terms it takes solar panels and raises them off the ground to create an…

The US states that are at their best during winter

The US is in the top five favourite holiday destinations among Britons. Around 3.8 million of us visit each year. So, after 18 months of exclusion, UK travellers will be rushing to American shores after November 8 – when the travel ban is set to lift. 

A shopping trip in New York City may feature high on many winter wishlists. Christmas cheer, in short supply last year, can reach its full potential on the city’s ice rinks, while gazing up at its window displays or during a browse of its seasonal markets. Yet, upstate also deserves a closer look in the coldest season.

In fact, it can be argued that several states are at their best as a (relative) chill sets in. Skiing, nature-seeking, theme park hopping: activities abound among our selection. If you wish to be within the first cohort to reunite with our Atlantic neighbour, here’s where to try for a wintertime fix.

So why not celebrate our two countries’ reunion with a trip across the Atlantic this winter? From Boston to the Texas coast, here are some holiday suggestions to get you started.

Florida

Where better to get children excited for the frivolities of Christmas than in bejewelled theme parks? Disney World’s festivities kick off on November 12. At Magic Kingdom, young-at-heart visitors will enjoy ‘Disney Very Merriest After Hours’ – this includes a parade and fireworks – on select nights from November 8–December 21. 

Orlando is easily combined with a couple of nights in Miami. Quieter beaches and milder weather make the party city a winning winter prospect (particularly for New Year’s Eve). 

Families could layer the two, together with a sweet filling of Palm Beach on a 13-night self-drive trip for four, from £5,300pp (020 8682 5099; scottdunn.com). Alternatively, the Florida Keys can be…

Online Gambling Starts Today

Starting at 6 a.m. today residents across the state will have a casino in their pockets. That’s because residents will have access to three different online gambling platforms, two operated by the tribes and one by the Connecticut Lottery. 

The Connecticut Lottery Corporation in partnership with Rush Street Interactive will begin taking bets via PlaySugarHouse.com, the Mohegan Tribal Nation will take bets via FanDuel and the Mashantucket Pequots will be taking bets via DraftKings. 

More than 130 games have been approved by the Department of Consumer Protection for both the FanDuel and DraftKings apps.

Department of Consumer Protection Commissioner Michelle Seagull said that anyone over the age of 21 can set up an account with any or all of the three vendors and start placing their bets. 

“We want to make sure that people underage are not allowed to set up accounts,” Seagull said. 

Seagull said they didn’t have any problems during the seven-day soft launch of online sports betting and there have been a few people who signed up for the self-exclusion list – these are individuals who don’t want to be marketed to, most often because they know they have a gambling addiction.

Seagull said she doesn’t have an exact number of people who excluded themselves, but making sure the vendors don’t allow anyone under the age of 21 to set up an account, and that they do respect those who have excluded themselves, are some of the things her agency will be…
