Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 49  Confessions of a craps player15 November 2016
I am guessing that many craps articles open with some form of the following sentence: “Craps is the most exciting game in the casino.” I know I’ve used something such as that opening many times. How can a gambling writer escape writing something such as that? After all, craps is the most exciting game in ... (read more)
Monster Mash8 November 2016
I have certain predilections when it comes to playing games in the casinos, and the biggest one has to do with the number of people playing when I want to play. I do not like crowded casinos, crammed with people who are drinking, eating, talking, drinking some more, loudly voicing their joy or misery over ... (read more)
The world is not enough1 November 2016
There is a written acknowledgement concerning casino games (you can listen to it in the beginning of the movie Casino) and it is this: The longer you play, the better chance you will be losing. The reason this has been endlessly written is simple: the math of the games favors the casinos. On this or that session or day or week, the normal fluctuations in a random game might mean you are ahead. ... (read more)
Some things for you25 October 2016
In 1984 a huge thing happened in Atlantic City and Las Vegas. In fact, it was so huge that it helped propel the casino industry nationally. That was the first year that slot machines made more money for the casinos than table games. Until that time table games ruled. No more.
Because slot machine inventory ... (read more)
Casino safari (4)18 October 2016
Casino players sometimes do resemble certain animals in their bearing and playing. Heck, I resemble about five of them as far as I can see (all of them sleek, good-looking ones, I’ll have you know). Here is my fourth list of who and what these animals and insects are. FLY: If you are having a great meal in ... (read more)
The saddest music in the world11 October 2016
Since 1984 in both Atlantic City and Las Vegas (and now in all casino points North, South, East and West) the slot machines took over the casinos and became the cash cows. There would probably not have been such an explosion of the casino industry almost everywhere had it not been for slots. Not craps, not ... (read more)
The Dark Knight4 October 2016
Ninety-five percent (or more) of craps players are rightside bettors, also known as do players. That means they are betting that the shooter makes his point before a seven shows, or they are betting numbers they want to hit before the seven shows. At almost any craps table, you will find an overwhelming presence of rightsiders. ... (read more)
Easy does it27 September 2016
FROM RICHARD: Hi Frank, I love your books. I have two quick questions. I have a $100 match play from a casino. Is it better to use the match play at once for $100 or use them at $25 each? Is there a difference in the end? Also I’ve read all of your books about craps. I know you talk about landing the ... (read more)
Here they come!20 September 2016
FROM RICK: I have your dice book "I Am a Dice Controller: Inside the World of Advantage-Play Craps!" and thanks. My problem is when I am on a really good roll or someone else is having one, meaning the more a shooter wins, then the more he rolls, the other players wanting in on the action soon rush to the table and leave him NO PLACE to roll. ...

Les Miserables13 September 2016
Here she comes! Here she comes! Does she see me? Oh, no, she’s heading right for me. Her bloodshot eyes bead right into my eyes. There is no escaping her now. She is almost on top of me! Oh, please, please someone save me! “Do you know, Frank, do you know, do you know, that I have not won all day? This place is fixed . ... (read more)
