Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru  Good Before Bad Part II28 March 2023
By Frank Scoblete “I told Wendy what happened when I won the big jackpot. ‘I wish you came over to get me. I would have loved to see them do what they do to pay out such a large amount of money,’ she said. "I explained to her that I was kind of in a fog when all this was going on. It seemed unreal to me. ‘Well,’ she said. ‘That check looks real enough to me.’ “The next day, we played some more. I actually hit a mini-jackpot and my weekend ended on a winning session as well. Wendy, unfortunately, did not have any luck at all and she had one of her worst trips ever. “When we got home, I took a long nap. I don’t usually nap but this weekend sapped me of my strength. I sat watching television that night and occasionally I’d look at the check and shake my head. This was the most amazing thing I ever experienced in a casino. “Monday evening Wendy called me. ‘I really wish you had me come with you when you got that check. That would have been something,’ she said. I again told her that I was in a kind of fog. I almost didn’t know what was going on. ‘Come on,’ she said. ‘How could you not know what was going on?’ “She called me on Thursday evening too. Usually, we don’t talk during the week. We both get home late from work. We do meet on the weekends though. She wanted to know how I felt being rich. I told I know I have some money now but I really don’t feel rich. “That weekend we intended to go to our favorite restaurant in town with a couple of other friends. Once there she said, ‘Shouldn’t you treat us Miss Millionaire? Wouldn’t that be fair?’ I think I did a stupid thing. Yes, I did treat them. “From that point on she always called me Miss Millionaire. No matter who we were with or where we were, I became Miss Millionaire. She even explained to restaurant staffs that I was rolling in money and they should expect a big tip from me. “I did tell her that I did not like being called Miss Millionaire. She laughed. She replied, ‘If the name fits, wear it.’ “We went to the casino again as regularly scheduled. It was the worst trip I ever had. I kept winning! I started to tell Wendy that it was a bad trip for me. One time a man sitting next to me laughed and said to Wendy, ‘This is the luckiest woman I ever saw. She’s winning like crazy!’ Wendy made a face. “After that I slowly pulled myself away from Wendy. I never see her any more. I had a big win, money; and I had a big loss, a friend.” All the best in and out of the casinos! Frank Scoblete’s web site is www.frankscoblete.com.

She loves playing the slot machines, and she and her girlfriend Wendy would go to the casinos once a month for a weekend stay. They played; they took in the shows and they had delicious meals. What could be better? They are not rich by any stretch of the imagination but now being in their early 40’s both own their own homes and have stable jobs. ... (read more)
