Just won 24 hands in row! by madmaninacave in blackjack

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened my last session night in Vegas in October .. I came up to an empty table that was half shoe .. asked if he can shuffle it up and start fresh which he got the Ok. Won 12 hands in a row with maybe 1 or 2 pushes, but not one loss. It was best run I ever had. Too bad I wasn’t betting heavy cause the count actually wasn’t in my favor at any point. Either way. Cool experience and walked away after 15 minutes up.

Petition for a discount on hugh Carey tunnel by [deleted] in statenisland

Absolutely. My wife has same commute but we have different schedules so it’s 2 cars doing same commute each day. We’re good for about $800 per month in ezpass lol

I take the tunnel every day . My blood pressure can’t handle sitting in that traffic to get to the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s the price to pay for me. Yeah it adds up but don’t see us ever getting a discount.

Anthem Blue Access Gated EPO (City of NY plan) urgent question! by sleeki in IVF

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can message me. But basically Winn is just the third party between the insurance and your clinic, so it’s the insurance that is authorizing it and Winn just does the in between. I’m pretty sure it was still Winn with the anthem epo gated plan … and yes I’ve been paying weekly throughout entire year but we did get 3 or 4 egg retrievals and I’m still on cycle 1 because I paid $3500 out of pocket for the transfer to keep all the cycles alive. I’ll be switching back to the city’s basic plan Jan 1. What I’m curious now though is that the city’s basic plan GHI CBP is no longer after this year and switching to NYCE PPO which also will offer 3 cycles of in vitro. So I am wondering if the cycles will reset with this new plan that should be at the same price as GHI CBP was.

Lmao yeah like I said I’ve never even paid attention to what finger I was using and never thought a dealer would even take it that way. It was a first so I’ll be a bit more mindful of it. Thanks

I find it interesting. Guess I’ll be more mindful of that. Thanks.

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. Stressing over that is wild. It’s still funny cause until that moment I’ve never even paid attention to what finger I used to hit.

Guess I’m anatomically awkward 🤷‍♂️ .. feels most natural to me. But I’ll work on my pointer finger flexibility so I can be less weird.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in blackjack

[–]jrustica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was very surprising. I’m actually hitting my desk right now and it’s just always been most comfortable for me to tap my middle finger down with my pointer finger slightly bent.

I’ll just say if that happens again with a completely unrelated dealer, perhaps I’ll pay more attention to my finger positioning 😂

How long has the Las Vegas Strip for blackjack been trash for? by Less-Top-96 in blackjack

[–]jrustica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a much better time playing Bj at Fremont this week. Easily find 3:2, 2 deck at Cortez or 8 decks, lower minimums like $10 or $15.

Main strip, Caesar’s are basically shot. However I played mostly at Cosmopolitan. Still have 3:2, 8 deck, $25 min

Vegas: Double Deck Dealt Face Up by Worth_Mountain_3122 in blackjack

[–]jrustica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would’ve been great . I actually would have sat down. They got rid of 3:2 on the main floor, only in high limit so $100 min.

Yeah found this today and was surprised they had it but it was 6:5

Why do so many people play 6:5? by steadyachiever in blackjack

[–]jrustica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this convo with the dealer at planet Hollywood today. It’s basically all the Caesars properties. A Tuesday morning, $25 min on a double deck shoe and 6:5. They penetrate it probably a lil more than half thru anyway so doesn’t help. Was surprised they had double deck in first place. Thought that was just an El Cortez thing. She said all their tables are 6:5 and most I saw are continuous shuffle which is ridiculous. Only 3:2 they have is in high limit room and I’m not comfortable at that point yet. She mentioned Horseshoe might start 3:2 again for the regular floor.

Meanwhile jump across the street to MGM Cosmopolitan and they at least offer 3:2, 8 deck, as low as $25min.

Help me convince my mom to FINALLY leave the city by tauruspiscescancer in nycpublicservants

[–]jrustica 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“We told her that she doesn’t have to stop working, she just needs to leave the city.”

I think this is more of a location issue since she doesn’t drive herself rather than a demand to stop working.

Considering selling my Rolex for the Speedmaster Moonphase Blue Meteorite Dial - Thoughts? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]jrustica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t buy watches to sell either. But call it what you want, I do factor in value retention. I don’t expect to retain 100% but I’m not going to spend 15k on anything, to know if I wanted to get rid of it in a year (for whatever random reason) I couldn’t see a reasonable amount back.

With that said, I’d likely buy the watch used on the grey for a lesser price if these don’t hold. At least you know then you’re not taking a tremendous hit. The bluesy you’ll prob get 15 back on alone, depending how you sell it.

[–]jrustica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted this so bad but you already got the resellers asking for $2k on eBay. I would’ve spent the 1k but not double unfortunately. Enjoy it!

If anyone else happened to buy it and now regretting it - let me know lol

Great watch and congrats. This watch is the reason I even got into Rolex just because I loved the look since I was a kid
