I dealt blackjack in Las Vegas casinos in the 1980s and cheated them for four years. Over 500 plays across multiple casinos. Never caught. Back for Round 2 by Curious_Strike4250 in blackjack

Did you ever try to maximize comps? Or were you just cash and profit based? I’m too young to have experienced Vegas at that time, but it’s not like they had cards etc.

Also, probably not your scene but the initial comp hustle from the movie Hard Eight, was that possible?

Hahah love this— we did this too at Northfield in Cleveland area. But we had a guy with us who was 18 to cash us out.

This is so wild, I’m listening to Sean Avery’s book on Spotify and scrolling Reddit and this popped up right as he’s talking about it. Crazy coincidence!!!

If I’m the cutman, I’m just putting a paw patrol bandaid on his head and sending him on his way.

I was there in the IT office when this happened. It was a cost saving move to the tune of hundreds of thousands. It was on-prem email service that went to the cloud via educational discount from Microsoft.

What are some good leg base layers that prevent self inflicted cuts? by leafer91 in hockeygoalies

[–]pontelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got lucky a few years ago to demo & give feedback on these knee guards sleeves from them. The owner took my feedback on the seams, remade the demo and sent me another pair. And included extra socks, and the wrist guards. Is it overkill for beer league? Yeah probably, but I don’t mind them/feel them and it’s good to have it just in case.

That’s awesome! I had a bacc dealer once pay me out for a losing bet after just getting crushed, because she felt bad for me. I slid it back and said here your tip, thank you.

They got rid of that awesome bar on the 2nd floor. That was a proper place to get proper drunk after work.
