Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 2The Captain of Craps19 January 2025
My gambling mentor was the late, great Captain of craps who was a weekly Atlantic City player and a man who taught me everything I know about casino playing. He and his crew of 22 high-limit players owned Atlantic City in the early 1970s through the early 2,000s. My, my were they comped! Mostly they played craps although the wives and girlfriends tended to play the slot machines. ... (read more)
Chips14 January 2025
I am not a collector of anything. There was a time when I was writing for over 50 magazines and newspapers, mostly monthlies, but some weeklies too. Over the decades, I spent a huge number of hours writing away in my office. Sometimes I forgot what season I was in. Actually, that’s the last 30 years. ... (read more)
Banging Your Head Against a Wall7 January 2025
Casinos have the edge over the players. It is a rare moment in a rare game where the player can actually turn the edge against the casino. Very rare. Extremely rare. Players can have skills at some games, such as blackjack by following basic strategy (the computer derived strategy for the play of every player hand verses the dealer’s up card). ... (read more)
Happy New Years31 December 2024
The year is done and a new one begins. I will spend New Years Eve watching my favorite movie of all time. My wife, the Beautiful AP and I have a New Years Eve tradition. We watch “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the Frank Capra movie that stars James Stewart and Donna Reed and a host of some of the great “old-time” actors and actresses. ... (read more)
So Much Gambling - What's Next?29 December 2024
QUESTION: Wherever you look, there are commercials for gambling; casinos, sports and what have you. Are we going overboard? Most of us can have a casino right in our television sets – if we can even call them television sets any more. If we can even call them casinos anymore. There used to be standards for television but I don’t see that much anymore. ... (read more)
Why only one bet?24 December 2024
QUESTON: I just read one of your articles where you advocate for making just one bet. What’s the point of that? Don’t you diminish the fun of playing a game by doing such a thing? I enjoy craps and roulette, just behind those I go with blackjack and – I’ll admit this – slots. I can’t imagine myself only making one bet at craps. ... (read more)
About Anticipation22 December 2024
QUESTION from Clem: You used to write and say that anticipation was the best part of casino gambling and I agree. But it does seem to wear thin after a few hours. That is what I have found. It also has no effect on the results of your play. It is just an internal something or other. No real impact or anything to do with winning or losing. ... (read more)
Hold Back17 December 2024
QUESTION from NANCY: I enjoy your articles and the articles you have about gambling from your other writers too. I am a slot player and I am looking for a way to extend my time at the machines without extending my risk. I think I risk enough already! What do you have to tell me about that? Now I know I ...

Love and Casinos II17 December 2024
“I Love This Game!” Frank: Do you have specific games in mind in postulating this idea? How pheromones impact those games in a real way? Ralph: Yes, a few seem to fit the mold and one game seems “off” but maybe relevant too as it fits in its own way. The game of craps can be loud with yells and cheers and ... (read more)
Pascals Wager15 December 2024
Blaise Pascal was a famous scientist, philosopher, and mathematician who invented the casino game of roulette which bankrupted many a nobleman (and woman) in the late 1600’s. He was also the man who figured out how to handle the issue of God’s possible existence. Indeed. His solution was ingenious. ... (read more)
