I was at the borgata in June 2019 when that volleyball player jumped from the window and committed suicide (or maybe some other funny business but who knows)? I don’t think it’s right to joke about a matter like this. Guy def deserves a lifetime ban from borgata.

Also his #s are funny. I don’t think it’s fair to safely say you would earn X amount per year from poker.

SimpleRick is making jokes, hopefully, about being a serial murderer over in PG&C. Where is the outrage?

I don't know the guy, and I don't (or shouldn't!) care about any of this, but I just can't help myself, I have to say that I don't think his initial story/joke/whatever is idiotic or crazy. Do you want a high floor or a low floor? Would I survive a jump from a low floor? No? Then what's the difference?

By all means, take him to task for any beefs you have with him, and criticize him where he deserves it, and laugh at his rant-like posting style, but don't pretend only a crazy person or a complete moron or a suicidal psychopath could make that comment/joke.

I'm not even saying that he is telling the truth! But the way he described it in this thread isn't totally unbelievable. HOWEVER, I still don't understand submitting to a psych eval at a hospital when things went south. That part just seems nuts!

if he just said he wanted the money back he had to pay the hospital, money for his room and money for the tournement (if he couldn't unregister) pretty much everyone would be on his side and he could probably even get unbanned after a year or so.

but the future earnings nonsense makes me hope mgm happily goes to court and buries him in red tape with their legal team costing him tons of money in lawyers fees.and as i said early i really hate mgm.

Given his behavior in this thread, whats more likely:

1) The guy made one 10 word sentence about jumping from low floor and calmly moved on;
2) The guy's recap of the events are not realistic like his comments in this thread, and he behaved in an unhinged manner, escalating the situation every step of the way.

Jcorb literally said it was "too bad" someone wasn't at a homicide scene to make jokes about murder victims. He thinks it would be appropriate to make jokes about actual homicide victims! How disrespectful of you jcorb. I'm outraged that you think that would be ok.

jcorb: "Was dispatched to a mass shooting last week where a firefighter and and EMT were shot, the EMT later died. Very sad scene. No one was joking about it. Too bad you weren't there to lighten the mood."

Having a mental illness that makes you suicidal because it limits a major life activity (working as poker player being the major life activity), would qualify as a disability under ADA. If they punished him just because he is mentally ill without a legitimate business need, that would be an ADA problem.
You appear to be jumbling up the requirements for Title 1 of the ADA affecting employees and Title 3 of the ADA affecting public accommodations like hotels. I don't believe anything in Title 3 would prevent a business from refusing his business given the facts in this case.

Joke or not, innocuous or not he said it and raised the alarms. Basically, he brought this on himself. Borgata took it to the extreme to protect themselves. Sucks for him but game over.

GRUNCH: in the UK commericial premises may deny entry to anyone and everyone as long as the reason does not amount to legally prohibited discrimination. So a grocery store could not forbid entry to it premises on the grounds of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation BUT they could deny basis on the grounds that you have bad taste in music, your breath smells, you pick your nose and that you use poor grammar in your speech and writing. There is no right to entry.

What about the woman that you “dated” (your word, hers was “harassed until I was forced to eat dinner with him”) who you berated at Mohegan Sun which resulted in you being banned from there 5 years ago? She hadn’t said a single word until you began telling the table some not so nice things about her which naturally got back to her. She shared some good stories too.

Those are his attorneys words so it’s hard for me to blame Scott for those claims. It isn’t like he can find an attorney to take the case then spell out to them what to ask for and what languages to use at the risk of offending an online forum.

Thats exactly what he does. He is the one that called the attorney and told the attorney he wins at massive unattainable rates. Supposed to read the complaint to make sure its true.

And people aren't mad because the forum is offended, they are just pointing out the damages are bogus.

Such an idiot. These kind of comments just prove that people are so gullible that they read one thing (which is completely incorrect) and then make assumptions. INCE AGAIN, it was not a joke about jumping or suicide! I asked, and let me see if I can use words that you understand, “if I HAD TO JUMP (meaning in case of emergency which should have been assumed by my body language, tonality and the words that I used) would I survive? In no way, shape or form did I suggest that I wanted to jump or was thinking of jumping. It wasn’t even close to what I said. But you get toolbars online that find a lawsuit and choose to twist my words so they can write a story rather than actually finding out EXACTLY WHAT I SAID! If you want a fair representation of what happened, this is the only article that is spot on: https://www.888casino.com/blog/robbins-sues-borgata

Once again incorrect. I’m banned from Mohegan Sun because I took a video of me and my friend Chris playing poker which apparently is very frowned upon. And the “stories” that you are confusing is about another woman who LITERALLY STOLE $500 from me about 5 years ago and actually just this week, she actually paid me back and all is forgiven and I NEVER dated her! I love these internet trolls who have no idea what they are talking about spewing lies on forums when people can’t defend themselves. And they they hide behind screen names! Be a man! Say who you are then provide actual proof!! You can’t. But I can! I have every screenshot of what transpired years ago, but again we squashed that issue this week as she paid me back and we are now square.

Whoever wrote this, thank you. Finally someone with a sense of reality. It’s so sad and pathetic to see so many people think they can make themselves look better by attacking a guy on a poker forum online with ZERO KNOWLEDGE of what transpired.

Thank you for this post and yes the story I am telling IS THE TRUTH, hence the lawsuit. It’s absurd that they would kick me out ESPECIALLY after they sent up all those people to my room to ask me about and then I explained to them verbatim and they STILL chose to take those actions. They had predetermined that no matter what I said they were kicking me out. So if that’s the case, why ask me anything!? I assure you that all they had to do was say, the young lady at the desk is not from America and didn’t pick up on the fact that you were asking a light-hearted question about your chance of survival if you HAD TO JUMP, but rather heard the word “jump” and based on what they are trained to do, contacted security. But after speaking with you, Mr. Robbins, it’s clear that you are not a danger to yourself or anyone else and we strongly suggest never to use the word “jump” in any context in the future when at a hotel. And that would have been the end of it.

You just claimed that it wasn't a joke, you were asking about the chances of surviving a jump in an emergency, then shared an article you claim to be spot on, which makes no mention of asking as relates to an emergency, and in fact states that you reiterated several times you were joking.

I must be really bored because there's such a high chance you aren't even Scott Robbins (again if you are, you are a special kind of stupid for continuing to post in a forum with an active law suit pending,) but here's what really confuses me:

You clearly have a long history of a less than positive disposition, and repeated incidences of drama and conflict, where you always have some story about how you didn't cause it. Usually people like that go with the whole "I just have bad luck, people take advantage of me because I'm good, I don't know how this keeps happening," etc. etc. But if you're a pro poker player that's like saying "I'm a great poker player I just can't win because I'm unlucky." Which is crazy....except you also allude in this thread to being the kind of person who gets very frustrated with dealers when they cooler you....
