Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 25  Proper Blackjack Rules8 June 2021
The game of blackjack is the most popular table game in the casino. Twice as many people play blackjack as play craps or roulette which are generally tied for second place. Except for slots, blackjack is king (or queen). But how many players play blackjack properly? In order to answer that question, you ... (read more)
Triple Zero Roulette1 June 2021
A reader wrote me to ask whether the rumor he had heard about a triple-zero (0, 00, 000) wheel was true. Sadly, the rumor is true. Yes, there is now a slow movement to get such a roulette wheel into American casinos. It might also be making inroads in other parts of the world as well. But this wheel is not a new idea. ...

Players Share Their Favorite Times to Play25 May 2021
Last week I discussed my aversion to playing on the weekends at casinos because I prefer smaller numbers of people. Casinos have plenty of players during the week but cramming onto tables and squeezing on craps and roulette tables on the weekends can be off-putting, at least for me. Or I am getting grumpy as time passes. ... (read more)
Crowded or Not Crowded?18 May 2021
I prefer going to casinos during the week as opposed to weekends. I don’t like being packed with other people in a place. If I play craps squeezing into a table is uncomfortable and, yes, annoying. Shooting the dice with someone buffeting you is unpleasant. The more players at a table, the better the chance ... (read more)
Size Does Matter11 May 2021
I have five stores to which I go and all five sell lottery tickets; three stationary stores, a 7/11 and a liquor store (I want you to know that I only go in there for scientific purposes). I am not a big lottery player; I buy one ticket when the lottery gets to a half billion dollars. So you can see that I don’t play much. ... (read more)
Are Casino Players Insane?4 May 2021
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.” This quote, or some version of it, has been credited to Albert Einstein. Whether Einstein said this or not, the concept seems to hold water. Why would anyone who is sane keep doing the same thing “over and over again” without seeing some change, hopefully for the better. ... (read more)
Sometimes It Is Best to Surrender27 April 2021
In the glory days of blackjack, and maybe even in some casinos today (maybe in the remote hinterlands), there was an option called “surrender.” If you didn’t like your hand you could give up half your bet. This was an excellent option if used correctly. If you were saddled with a 16 and the dealer showed a ... (read more)
Flat Betting20 April 2021
Scratch casino players and you will get a load of betting strategies. Some of the players will be positive progressive bettors, a few will be negative or regressive bettors, some will be haphazard bettors just throwing out bets hither and yon of different sizes, perhaps at a multitude of different games. ...

Protecting Slot Cash13 April 2021
No one wants to see their bankrolls hammered but unfortunately many aggressive slot players face such a prospect. Players need to exercise two aspects to their slot play to survive without taking regular beatings. The first is to have the proper strategy and know which machines to play and the second is to practice a serious form of money management. ... (read more)
I Misspoke6 April 2021
Most of the time when you go to the casinos you have fun. You have ups, you have downs, you have great meals, you see some fun shows, and in short, you experience the works. You go home and soon look forward to your next trip to the temple of Lady Luck. I have been going to casinos for over three decades, ... (read more)
