Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 52  Dinner at eight12 April 2016
Sometime in the mid-1990’s my wife the Beautiful AP and I were in the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas. We were walking from the buffet, full and satisfied after a delicious breakfast, when a somewhat wild-eyed, somewhat disheveled woman stopped us. “What’s today’s date?” she asked. “April 2,” said the Beautiful AP. ...

The magnificent seven5 April 2016
Seven is a magnificent number and one of the most profound in human history. You have Seven Heavens in Judaism and Christian theology with the Seventh Heaven being the highest heaven, often where God exists – or just below where God exists. The number seven has profound meaning in Hinduism and Islam, too. ... (read more)
Mother knows best29 March 2016
I am sure a small percentage of our readers remember a great television show “Father Knows Best” which starred Robert Young who grew old in the part. In the 1950s and 1960s it was customary to give television fathers a heap of credit for being really, really smart, hardworking and really, really loving. ... (read more)
Stranger than stranger22 March 2016
I am sure most of my readers have had deliriously, weirdly, fearsomely, funny and ironic experiences in the casinos. Here are some of mine: He died. The tall, monstrously fat guy at the craps table who was yelling and hooting and clapping and wildly cheering went silent; his big bloated face turning beet red with his eyes bugging out and then — clunk! bam! down he went to the ground. ...

Watch out!15 March 2016
There are so many things to watch out for when you go to the casinos for overnight stays. For example, did you bring your blood pressure medication? Because you very well might need it as the games can get quite exciting and your blood pressure can skyrocket. Trust me, I know. But there are many other things you have to watch out for too. ...

The Tragedy of Macbeth8 March 2016
Many gambling writers say that emotions do not count in gambling. You cannot change the nature of a casino game because of your feelings. The RNG in a slot machine works as it was programmed to work, whether you are happy, sad, cheering, crying, clapping or moaning. This is quite true. The cold, hard mathematical facts about slot machines cannot be changed because you desire it. ... (read more)
Hamlet1 March 2016
Shakespeare’s play, The Tragedy of Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, is the greatest work of literature that I’ve read. It is more than a masterpiece; it is the definitive look at what it means to be an intelligent human being caught in all the madness of life. Brilliant lines reflecting brilliant analysis by ...

More of gambling's fads and facts23 February 2016
I am covering some of the many (as in many, many, many) gambling systems that players use to win money – even if the systems actually lose money, which almost all of them do. The “fad” is what players think the system does and why they play it; the “fact” is what the system actually accomplishes. These are adapted from e-mails and letters I have received. ... (read more)
Gambling's fads and facts16 February 2016
An optimistic pessimist might conclude that there are as many gambling systems as there are gamblers in America. Some of these systems might actually give the player the edge, if that player has the discipline to learn and execute the system. Card counting would be one example. But what are some of the ...

The Terminator9 February 2016
I am quite certain there have been times in your slot-playing career that you were convinced a slot machine had an evil intelligence and was deliberately and delightfully causing your losses. That this machine was looking at you from behind its façade and snickering at your misfortune. In fact, the thought ... (read more)
