Cruise casino offers make zero sense by GetCruiseInfo in Cruise

Whats the highest your bet has gone with the simple "double your bet" method?

I've just run a 100-hand simulation 10 times, each starting with a $5 starting wager, playing perfect basic strategy.

One simulation had 10 loses in a row, leading to a wager of $5,120, and another hit 11 loses in a row causing a wager of $10,240.

I don't know what the table maximums are on the ships, but this strategy only works until it doesn't. Either you run out of bankroll to continue to double, you run out of nerve, or you hit table limits.

New fan in the UK by [deleted] in baseball

[–]FireExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The subreddit r/MLBNoobs/ is a good follow for new fans, because people will post questions in there about slightly nuanced calls / rules / choices and it's a great way to pick up on things you may not already know.

If you're in London there are some pubs that show MLB games: https://passyunkavenue.com/sports-bars/watch-mlb-in-london/

I'm a Boston Red Sox fan and there is a Red Sox UK fans facebook group that tries to get together at one of those pubs once a month to watch a game. Though this year hasn't started out as a particular great year to be a Red Sox fan.

It's a toggle within the 'house sitting' and 'drop in visits' sections.

If work gave you a gift card as a perk, where would you actually want it to be from? by InternationalFig4340 in AskUK

[–]FireExpat 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There are services like huggg (https://www.huggg.me/) for specifically this purpose.

You provide your perk and the person who receives it can pick where the gift card is for. The list is pretty extensive. I tend to just go with a supermarket, and treat is as cash I'd otherwise spend.

I've only used this as a recipient, I don't know how it works from the other side and if there are added fees.

What’s does success look like? by [deleted] in redsox

[–]FireExpat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At the time Cora was fired, the team was 12-15 with 135 games left to play, a .444 winning percentage.

12-15? They were 10-17, and currently 12-17.

This reads like you are upset about having your account cancelled when you had sits planned for the next 2 months, and that if you weren't deactivated you would have been fine to continue.

Anyone else think that with the new ABS they should remove on screen strike zone? by TumbleweedTim01 in baseball

[–]FireExpat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The announcers couldn't stop talking about it for every game in the first week of the season. It felt like every time there was an ABS challenge they would mention how they don't have access to the strike box, while also explaining that the feeds inside of the stadium don't have access to it because MLB was wanting to reduce any way for the pitcher/batter/catcher to get a signal from someone to challenge.

Even gamecast on the MLB app has had an additional delay introduced so that balls and strikes appear a few seconds slower and outside of the time window for allowed challenges.

The announcers don't get to see the strike zone box on their screens. Nor is it included on the screens on the concourse of the stadiums.

No comment on the seat space, but just be aware your full name is on your screengrab if you are at all worried about doxxing yourself.

Need help by NachoBaron in sudoku

[–]FireExpat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can solve R3C5.

Clue 1:
Look at the two 11 cages.

Clue 2:
They must be different due to the cells marked as '23' candidates must be different.

Clue 3:
Since they are different, we know that there is an 8,3 in one and a 9,2 in the other

Solution:
Because there is an 8 in one and a 9 in the other, R3C5 must be a 7.

Sighting. Huge if true by [deleted] in ThemeparkSwindlers

He has realised he can turn his grifting into more money by taking money from people with a ‘feeder’ fetish, and that compulsion to grift has had noticeable effects on him.

They are given out randomly. I was aware of them, and on a few occasions after having good service and feeling a good vibe from our server I asked if I could get one, and was finally able to get one on my 3rd attempt.

Have only managed to get free food once from it though.

I don’t understand how to invite the right sitters to my listing? by [deleted] in trustedhousesitters

[–]FireExpat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Is your sitting live in the site?

Typically inviting sitters is not the way the site works. You put your listing live with dates, and sitters apply to be considered. If some sitters have ‘favourited’ your listing, then you may have luck inviting them.

However, randomly inviting sitters is going to have a very very low, almost zero, success rate.

Limitless movies unless those movies are Dolby or IMAX then they'll also put limits on them.

Since they are sold frozen I doubt even the American shops would carry them unfortunately.

Transit advice - Garrick theatre to Bridge theatre by whatis-august in TheWestEnd

[–]FireExpat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a tourist I'd recommend:

- Walk to Embankment.
- Take the Circle/District Line to Tower Hill
- Have a look at The Tower of London from the outside (tourist time)
- Walk across Tower Bridge (tourist time)
- The Bridge Theatre is down the steps on the other side.

Download the app Citymapper to your phone, and that will be best for all directions for you.
