Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 4  Mommy vs. Marion at Slots (Love and Casinos III)24 November 2024
From Frank: Two women, one my late mother (a truly sainted lady); the other a harridan of the worst sort, being a smoke-infused, a dried-up creature named Marion; each played slots in Atlantic City in the 1990s. Somewhat before then and somewhat after then as I recollect. They were acquaintances and members of a somewhat large group that went to the casinos occasionally. ... (read more)
Competition19 November 2024
Casino playing is more to me than just wagering at games the casinos offer. I tend to stick with certain games that give me the best chances to win and I do play the very best strategies at these games. My goal is not only to last but to actually beat the house, a rough deal. From the earliest age I was brought up with competition, first with myself and then with opponents. ... (read more)
A Wild Martingale12 November 2024
The Martingale is a favorite type of betting system used especially by relatively new players who often think they have invented the concept. I know I invented it in my first weekend of play many moons ago in Atlantic City. It is a double-up after a loss method of play. You bet $10, lose and double to $20; ... (read more)
Can Something Be Due in a Random Game5 November 2024
On "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, famous scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson told an interesting story about a bunch of physicists who went to Vegas for a conference when their hotel lost their reservations. Oh, my word! Instead of being out in the cold (or the heat), a casino-hotel in Vegas offered them rooms and told them to hold their conference at the casino-hotel. ... (read more)
The Truth Shall Set You Free3 November 2024
Everyone who gambles in casinos wishes to overcome the house edges on the games they play. Some players, a few, know what those house edges are, some (meaning many) do not know anything of the sort. They actually have little idea of how and why the casino ultimately takes their money. My sainted mother used ... (read more)
Video Poker Player Explodes29 October 2024
Slot players rule the casinos. They do. Just walk into a casino and look around. This fact is not hard to see. Some 60 to 90 percent of slot losses make up the casino coffers. There would be no casino “industry” without the seemingly countless millions of slot players if they were removed from Lady Luck’s domain. ... (read more)
Interview with the Slot Machine22 October 2024
Slot machines have come a long way. Yesterday’s slots were merely mechanical devices with three reels of 10 stops each with only a thousand possible combinations (10 X 10 X 10 = 1,000) and they were primarily located in bars. Now they are almost sentient computer-driven marvels found largely in casinos worldwide. ... (read more)
Responsible Planning20 October 2024
You have now created your 401G, an account that is strictly used for gambling. Remember that “G” okay? You have to decide how much you can (easily) afford to deposit in the account based on how much you wish to play for and how often you will go to the casino. Do not overestimate your ability to handle losses. ... (read more)
One and Done15 October 2024
The general rule of thumb for slot games and video poker hands is that the best method for a player is to play full coin (or total credit per decision) because this allows the player to get the most if he or she hits the big jackpot. [Please note: Sometimes it is very hard for casino-play writers such as yours truly to go against the norm of advice given by brilliant writers over the years. ... (read more)
Blackjack Boom15 October 2024
If casino table-game players are the judge of the games, then unquestionably blackjack is the number-one table game in the casinos. By far! Starting in 1962-63 a revolution hit the casinos, the arrival of a way to beat the game of blackjack. You have Edward O. Thorp to thank for that. His book, Beat the ... (read more)
