Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 55  Poo-Bach's hot-hand strategy22 September 2015
There seems to be almost as many gambling systems as gamblers. There are advantage-play methods at blackjack, craps, video poker, casino poker, pai gow poker and, yes, even slots. These can actually work to get the players a relatively small edge. Few players, extremely few, learn advantage-play methods, ... (read more)
I bus, therefore I play15 September 2015
Atlantic City, and many other venues, often rely on the “bus people”: those players who take advantage of relatively cheap day-trips to their favorite casinos. For somewhere in the vicinity of $40, they often get breakfast at their morning meeting of their fellow players at the pick-up spot; then they are given vouchers for a buffet lunch and some vouchers for slot credits or match play. ...

Better betting8 September 2015
JOE: Hi Frank, big fan of yours and enjoy your articles. In the game of craps, which of the two is the better? 1. $30 on the 5, 6 and 8 and $10 on the field (the iron cross bet) with a total outlay of $100, or 2. $10 on the 4 and 10, $15 on the 5 and 9 and $24 on the 6 and 8 for a total outlay of $98. ...

The lowdown on Never Ever Craps1 September 2015
FROM DANNY: I read your articles all the time. Could you do one on the craps games called Never Ever Craps? This is the one where every number is a point. Is this a better game than traditional craps? Thanks so much. FRANK RESPONDS: Never Ever Craps is often called Crapless Craps because you cannot lose on a craps number during a come-out roll. ...

What's it all about?25 August 2015
For over a quarter of a century I have been writing books, articles, television shows and DVDs about casino gambling, from game strategies to my take concerning the industry. I’ve logged scores of my adventures (many with my beautiful wife AP) in the world of casinos (the good, the bad and the even worse) and how I think people should play and comport themselves in the Temples of Chance. ...

Pushing it18 August 2015
It’s a quite familiar situation for many casino players. The session is not going well; you lose and lose and lose some more. Nothing seems to be working. You try this strategy and that strategy and even a few strategies that you know are completely ridiculous. You bet with the trends; you bet against the trends; you flip coins to figure out how to bet. ... (read more)
Pressing bets11 August 2015
I get several e-mails a month asking me what the best pressing method is. These usually refer to the table games, mostly craps, blackjack, mini-baccarat and roulette. I usually write back the following: “Do not bother to press because the extra money you put out there is subject to the exact same house edge as the original money. ... (read more)
Readers' experiences in casinos4 August 2015
FROM NEIL: Frank, love your columns and expertise. I just wanted to share my last trip to Las Vegas with you. I had the best outcome with VP-DDBP/Craps/Let It Ride, and this spanned the Silverton and Main St. Station. However, what was another winning experience was the visit to an Asian restaurant — mentioned in the Eating Las Vegas series — China Mama, on South Jones Blvd. ... (read more)
Hot, cold and virtual games28 July 2015
FROM SNAZZIE: I love your column. I agree with you that charting dice is a losing system. I have seen times when a dice table is "cold." That is when I am betting the pass line with odds and those seven-outs will happen all too frequently. There may be eight or nine players at a table and no player will make a point. ... (read more)
The horror of card counting21 July 2015
FROM FRED: I read your short article on blackjack today. I wanted to ask you if you are taking into consideration the multi-decks that casinos use today. I was not sure when you wrote this article, so if everybody at the table has pat 19s, 20s and blackjacks this round, the next few rounds are not likely to be very good for the players. ...
