Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 29  Interview with a Crazy Crapper25 August 2020
I have written about Crazy Crappers in my books and in many articles. These are craps players who make the worst bets at the game; bets that come in with house edges going from five percent all the way to double digits. Some of the Crazy Crapper bets are single decision bets such as the 2, 3, 11, 12 or the Any Seven. ... (read more)
Honesty Policy18 August 2020
You’re in an elevator heading to your floor. Tonight has been a loser, not by much, but a loss is a loss. An older couple joins you and up you three go. “How you doing?” asks the man. “Even,” you say. “We’re ahead,” says the woman. “A little ahead,” says the man. “Good, good,” you say. “It’s obviously been a good night for the three of us.” They leave the elevator. ...

Some Advice for Casino Play15 August 2020
Casinos are a little different from your normal day-to-day routine experiences. In spite of the money, lights and glitter you will find on the Las Vegas Strip or your local casino, the average person can have a great time while visiting today’s adult playground, a casino. Just knowing a few tips about ... (read more)
The Home Run of Slots11 August 2020
I love baseball. I am a New York Yankees fan (do not boo me!) ever since I met Joe DiMaggio in 1953 shortly after he retired. It was my first time at Yankee Stadium. I was six years old and I was with my dad. I know that most of the biographies of Joe D. paint him as a man who was aloof and unfriendly but he was not that to me. ... (read more)
Manners Are Important4 August 2020
In just about all areas of life we are confronted by how to properly handle our relations with other people, our culture, others’ cultures and just the do’s and don’ts of this or that situation. For example, if someone is grasping onto the overhead strap on the subways so he doesn’t fall, it is considered wrong to break the person’s fingers in order to get a good grip on the instrument yourself. ...

Penny Pinching28 July 2020
Einstein is credited with saying the following: “Craziness is defined as continuing to do the same thing time and again expecting different results.” Whether he said or wrote this, or whether it is a false citation doesn’t matter; the sentiment certainly makes sense. And it certainly makes sense when it ... (read more)
Interview with a Blackjack Bully21 July 2020
I think this column will be a first for any gambling writer. That’s right; I am going to interview a blackjack bully. Blackjack players and other gambling writers have often decried those blackjack bullies who feel free to give other players advice. Worse, such blackjack bullies will often harangue other ...

The Titanic14 July 2020
Manufacturers of slot machines can sometimes go off the deep end. They can be all wet in their approach to what kinds of machines players actually want to play. Some of you might not know this but a slot machine that I have seen in casinos is – now wait for this! – based on the Titanic. That’s right, the Titanic, specifically based on the movie by James Cameron. ... (read more)
The Ups and Downs7 July 2020
You are a $10 blackjack player and you buy in for $300 and go about your business trying to beat the house. You know the computer derived basic strategy and you use it exclusively. You do not have an edge over the game but it is a close contest with the casino – you might be facing about a one-half percent house advantage and that isn’t bad at all. ... (read more)
Do Something Else Too30 June 2020
Very few people who go to casinos do anything else other than gambling. True, some will enjoy the buffets, the dinners and some will go to the shows. But the purpose of a visit to a casino is to gamble because one can go to buffets, dinners and shows without ever travelling to a casino. I think the opposite. ... (read more)
