I have on occasion at two different casinos, bet high and lost hundreds of dollars without a "hit" and when I have spent all my money and get off the machine with cashing out a few cents, the screen has gone blue and said hand payout or no...

I have been very familiar with who you are for some years now, and read your book "Spin Roulette Gold" and read many other...

I am sure there is a more politically correct term for us but that is what we are.I live in Florida now but visit relatives in Delaware and PA often. While in Delaware, I like to play at Delaware Downs because the blackjack game there offers surrender and I...

I've got two questions regarding slot machines.1. I understand that the house edge will change depending upon the denomination of the machine with a nickel machine generally having a higher house edge than a dollar machine. But many machines have...

It will save me some money! But if the 5-Count reduces one’s exposure by betting on only 43 percent of the random rolls, wouldn’t it be advantageous to bet the Don’t Pass on the other 57 percent? It would seem that one could place a minimum bet on the...

Are these games in fact random at a racino (let's take NY for the example) where we know that the video poker is in fact not.I was at the racino at Aqueduct (yes, we are neighbors, I...

Like I mentioned in an earlier email I have a table that was my grandfather’s in my garage. We put some time in practicing and talking it was a blast. Neither one of us can get dice control down but it was fun trying. I will say...

I am 45 and have been gambling since I was 7. Craps poker and sports betting are my thing. I have never read a book on gambling until recently. My daughter gave me "Casino Craps: Shoot to Win!" as a present and I read it last night. I thought it was a very good book even though I don't buy into the...

Politics as usual want to suck as much money out of the people. I see several problems at least. This is making it too easy to get every poor Tom, Dick and Harry that has access to a computer to gamble.... Tue, 23 Apr 2013 00:00:00 EST http://scoblete.casinocitytimes.com/articles/61915.html
