Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 20  The KISS Attack15 March 2022
I mentioned to my wife last night as we settled into bed that the next column I write will be titled “The KISS Attack!” “Oh, lord, no,” she said immediately. “What?” “How can you call your readers stupid?” she asked. “No that’s not what the title means,” I said. “I’m playing on the normal definition of ...

Some Serious Questions8 March 2022
Billy: “Casinos would call me an action player. I play just about every game. I do not like to relax. I want to play and play some more. You seem to be the opposite. Your columns are often cautionary and hinge on saving money and keeping your playing time under control. I have to disagree with you about that.” Frank responds: “You are right. ... (read more)
Ups and Frowns1 March 2022
Almost all casino players know this truth: given some time, or a long time, or starting right now this morning, this afternoon or tonight, they will wind up losing. They know that the house has the edge over them in every game. Certain sessions and even certain multi-day trips, the player will win. ... (read more)
Magical Thinking22 February 2022
The world of the casino inside the heads of many casino players is not the world of the casino inside the heads of the folks who know casinos, run casinos, and often have to talk to patrons who see the casino world in a very, very different, and wrong, way.

When Things Go Wrong15 February 2022
I have spent so much time in casinos, sometimes up to 130 days a year. In over three decades of play most of my visits are pleasant, whether I win or lose. Yet, some visits are noteworthy for the things that happen that are not par for the casino course. Those “things” can be for good or ill. Mostly, ill. ... (read more)
Proper Craps Play8 February 2022
There are two main games at a craps table. The first is to bet with the dice; that is, you want just about any number to appear except for the dreaded seven during the point cycle of the game.

Going for the Gold1 February 2022
QUESTION: I don’t want to rain on your parade but I do take exception to gambling writers who are always lamenting those of us who enjoy “going for the gold” when we play the casinos’ games. I am a craps lover and I have been playing almost a dozen years, since I was 21 on the exact day of my birthday. ... (read more)
Staying at the Game25 January 2022
QUESTION: Most gambling writers tell you when to leave, usually when you are losing, but it is somewhat rare that they tell you when to stay at a table or slot machine. The other night at the casino I hit a point when I thought “do I stay or do I go?” I had won a decent amount of money, $500, and I had played about two hours. ... (read more)
Being Uptight18 January 2022
QUESTION: I am a good player. I know the rules of the games I play and I keep my money manageable if you understand what I mean. My wife, however, has a different view of my casino playing. She thinks I am always uptight. She thinks I don’t enjoy myself as much as I should. Okay, I am uptight a lot of the times. ... (read more)
Say Goodbye11 January 2022
QUESTION: I can’t seem get this into my mind. When do you leave a table? Is it if you have lost a certain amount of money? Is it when you have won a certain amount of money? I hear a lot of players say one thing or another. One person told me that when he lost all the money that he brought to play with then he quit. ... (read more)
