Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 51Don't throw it away21 June 2016
People cut out coupons on the Internet to save themselves a few dollars. They go to yard sales to see if they can get a bargain for this or that. They will haggle about prices in those places that allow such haggling. They restrict their dining out to one or two times a week. I would say these traits display a keen sense of frugality. ...

Ferris Bueller's Day Off14 June 2016
OK, enough with my being a conservative, highly intelligent advocate of sound gambling principles and proper casino decorum. Enough, I say! So many of my readers have written me letters saying, “Frank, enough with being a conservative, highly intelligent advocate of sound gambling principles and proper ... (read more)
The producers7 June 2016
The head executives of the casinos justifiably think of all players as contributors to the casinos’ profits, if not today, tonight or tomorrow, then certainly soon enough to suit the bosses in an individual casino’s hierarchy. That goes for little players looking for the $5 tables and big players looking for comfort, fine drink and high stakes in the high-roller rooms. ... (read more)
Nutty letters31 May 2016
Dear Sirs; or Frank I read the recent colunm about how to play craps using only one bet and that is downright maniac system. How can you win money and brake the bank playing such as that? No bank will be broken like them roulette banks of the I think it was the 1800 or 170 period of times. I say WAKE UP to ... (read more)
The grass is still greener over there24 May 2016
Last week I shared with you the idea that if you are getting bored with the casino games you’ve been playing or becoming satiated by them, then perhaps learning to play other games might be the best medicine for your gambling soul. In other words, for those of you dulled by your regular playing routine, perhaps the grass is indeed greener on the other side of the fence. ... (read more)
The grass may just be greener17 May 2016
The saying that the “grass looks greener on the other side” (or variations thereof) has been around a long time, maybe almost as long as grass has been around. The common parlance comes from the idea that many cows are more interested in the grass on the other side of the fence – perhaps the neighbor’s grass – and will stretch their necks out to get some of that great green stuff. ...

It happened one night10 May 2016
It is out there, somewhere, in some time, waiting for us: our greatest night in the casinos. The dream come true. It is there for us. You can just – just barely – grasp it. For most slot players, that dream is often a dream fully, if not permanently, delayed. Those who wish to win Megabucks or Wheel of Fortune are generally spitting in the wind. ... (read more)
The fantastic four3 May 2016
The number 4 at craps can give you the “best of times” and the “worst of times” (to quote Charles Dickens). Everything depends on how you bet the number. All craps players know — or should know, or better know — that the best way to bet the 4 or any other point number is going by route of the pass line and come bets with full odds (or as much as you can afford in odds). ...

What is better?26 April 2016
You are a casino player. You are aware that the house has the edge on every bet that you can make. You are aware that very few players ever beat the casinos in the long run. (This column is not about them.) But you do enjoy playing. You enjoy testing yourself against Lady Luck. Yes, sure, the casino has the edge. ... (read more)
Lights, camera, action!19 April 2016
Let’s go back in time for a brief moment. Recall how the old film crews would have their director shout out, “Lights, camera, action!” and the actors would scurry about their scene and the lighting director would make sure they could be seen and the scene and the seen played themselves out. Jump to our modern-day casinos. ... (read more)
