Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 57  Speed, time shares and slot free play12 May 2015
FROM ANDY: I have never played mini-baccarat in my life, but I've watched it often. You say it is an extremely fast game. What I have observed is that the Asians (the majority of players) are incredibly slow at placing their bets, and that it is an extremely slow game. Just putting my two cents out there. ...

Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao: a prediction24 April 2015
A word of caution to my gambling friends. I am not betting on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. versus Manny Pacquiao fight. My boxing betting ended when I bet Muhammad Ali to beat George Foreman. I had won three fights up to then (including Foreman/Frazier) in total, but I knew I was no boxing handicapper. I quit when I was ahead, in other words. ... (read more)
On beating the house edge in roulette21 April 2015
FROM JAGGY: I always read your articles just for fun. As you say the casinos always have the edge. The percentages are the bottom line to be successful in business which I learned at Wharton Business School. Common sense tells me to never play the slots which I don't. My wife likes to play them as it is easy for her to just press the max button. ... (read more)

Everyone who gambles in a casino has a dream: Some players dream of winning big; some players dream of winning anything at all; some players of winning the approval of the world at large (which often goes with big wins). Some players even have fear dreams where they get their heads kicked in. But these dreams are waking dreams, more fantasy than anything else. ... (read more)
Good dealers versus bad dealers31 March 2015
It’s Thanksgiving for good dealers. If you play slot machines, your only worry used to be getting your hands dirty from the coins, but today that is no longer a problem since coins are things of the past. Now everything is paper. Yes, you could have a problem if a stiff wind blows through the casino, ripping the paper from your hands and blowing it to who knows where. ... (read more)
Sal and Frank talk the Captain and craps24 March 2015
This letter has many questions and comments, so I will answer them as they come up. FROM SAL: You are one of my favorite reads. Primarily craps reads.

Advantage-play slots and other things17 March 2015
FROM NEIL: Frank, excellent column, excellent advice about doing things other than gambling in casino towns. I'll take in an afternoon show, such as Mac King — highly recommended for all ages. I take my friends to Mt. Charleston, Valley of Fire, Red Rock, Fry's Dept. store/Silverton/Bass Pro Shop, the Peppermill and any other hole-in-the-wall casino or restaurant I find to be interesting. ... (read more)
