Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 3  Let's Discuss8 October 2024
Blackjack is a game where people can play silently, existing in their own heads, enjoying the game or not enjoying the game depending on wins or losses, and the people who enjoy such silence enjoy such a game. With a full table of 7 (or 6), there are always occasions for conversations, most of them cordial ... (read more)
How the Casino Wins Your Money8 October 2024
Casinos are a business; just like the businesses in your community and those throughout the world. Their goal is simple, it really is and that goal is this – to make your money their money. They sell a product, gambling on games where they have the advantage over the players. Players find that product exciting. ... (read more)
One Foot Towards the Door6 October 2024
I am going to share with you a very simple concept that I stumbled upon early in my career as a casino gaming columnist. I now call it “my foot facing the door.” Okay, what does this mean precisely? “Foot facing the door.” When I am playing I am always ready to leave the table if things are not going right, or don’t seem to be going right, or if I am uncomfortable for any reason whatsoever. ...

Atomic Habits1 October 2024
I am not usually into self-help books or videos. I figure, and my wife the Beautiful AP figures as well, that I am perfect the way I am right this second. Oops, scratch that as the wife didn’t think that. I just thought she thought that. So, I was wrong there. I guess you can never count on your wife to always confirm your obvious talents at various times – especially when others are listening. ... (read more)
On the Way to the Poorhouse24 September 2024
Most casino players have some control over how much they bet and when they should quit whatever game they are playing. If that were not so then we’d have many more former players in the poor houses of America and the rest of the world. Still, there are many players who often, more often than not, make the wrong choices when they definitely know better. ... (read more)
Craps Consciousness17 September 2024
There are so many, many bets at craps that it is hard to remember them all. No matter actually. Most are just not good enough to try to remember them all. That's a fact. My mentor the late Captain from Atlantic City called the bad and awful bets “crazy crapper” bets because the player had to be crazy to make them. ... (read more)
Wisdom II10 September 2024
The Captain had a lot of sayings. One of his favorites, one he adapted from someone, was “the contest was not between you and the casino but between you and yourself.” Over the years I realized this saying was absolutely true, at least for many casino players. What got them into trouble were elements of their personalities that laid them low. ... (read more)
Advertising8 September 2024
You can’t watch a sporting event or single game on television or listen to such on the radio or on streaming services or even watch your favorite television show, even sweet little sit-coms about our wonderful and often dopey families, without seeing commercials for online, on land, and sea casinos. ...

Wisdom3 September 2024
My mentor, the Captain, had some sayings he’d like to repeat, partly to remind himself of their importance, partly to encourage others to think correctly. They certainly had a profound impact on me. One was “Winning is the most fun.” This is why he played. He did not see the game of craps as an unwinnable game. ... (read more)
Quit When You're Ahead27 August 2024
“You’ve got to quit when you’re ahead.” How many times have you heard someone say that and you nod in agreement or just look at the person who is saying it and not give a response? There is no sensible response to the statement. Correct. No sensible response. Give the saying some thought and you will see ... (read more)
