Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 64  Mike's craps system and fast VP play14 January 2014
FROM MIKE: I mentioned, about a couple of months ago, that I had an idea for a modified come balance system. I've toyed with it, on paper, but sort of get confused, sometimes, on the outcome, especially if there is a long roll. I'll go ahead and share it with you... if we can perfect it, we can share ...

Poor craps play and live dealers7 January 2014
FROM CANCUN SKIP: Congratulations on your new book "Confessions of a Wayward Catholic." As an alumnus of Catholic schools and college I am looking forward to reading your confessions. We need more books by good authors like you; particularly on gambling! I am back from a weeklong trip to Las Vegas and had a great time playing Video Poker and Craps. ... (read more)
Making bad bets into good bets31 December 2013
Most gambling writers, me included, love to discuss house edges as if these are the be-all and end-all of what you need to know to play the games. If the house edge is higher than 2 percent I generally tell players not to make the bet. Superficially, not making bets that have house edges over 2 percent is a ... (read more)
Safest bet in the history of the world24 December 2013
The Mayans predicted that the world would end on or around December 21, 2012. Whew! Escaped that one! Hold on. The Mayans aren’t the only ones who predicted the world would end today, tomorrow or the next day, or next month, or next year, or the next decade, or the next century or the next millennium. ...

Hedging bets at craps17 December 2013
FROM JOHN: You have a couple come bets with full odds established. Is there a way to protect them from a seven on the next come out roll once the shooter made his point? FRANK RESPONDS: When you start splitting the game into pieces as you have done, it seems as if there are ways to “protect” your bet. ... (read more)
Let's talk10 December 2013
I remember a time when there were no computers and therefore no cell phones, no iPads, no Internet, no e-mail and no message boards. Facebook could just as well been a modeling magazine. If you wanted to talk about gambling you had to meet a friend or go to a casino or call someone on the phone. Certainly there were books to read, many of them quite good, but you can’t talk to a book. ... (read more)
Take your losing like a chump3 December 2013
I was on my Facebook page writing about a swapping arrangement I was advocating, which was a deal between our country and those countries where most of our illegal immigrants come from. My idea was to take able-bodied but lazy Americans who refuse to work – thereby scamming their fellow citizens out of money ... (read more)
Do casinos want some winners?26 November 2013
FROM CARL: I am of the opinion that casinos want some players to win. If everyone loses, who would want to come to the casino in the future? I think that the winners get the losers to hope and that hope sends the losers back for more and more. What do you think? FRANK RESPONDS: You could be right but looked ... (read more)
Don't kill the other video poker players!19 November 2013
FROM JANE: I, too, read your column in CasinoCityTimes.com and in the hard copy of Casino Player and Strictly Slots. I wish to share my frustration with people who regularly play progressive VP machines with one or two coins. When I ask them if they realize they are playing a progressive, they claim they ALWAYS know. ... (read more)
Two dice having a history12 November 2013
FROM LAWRENCE: I like to read various websites including your website here and at www.frankscoblete.com. I think you and your writers have the best information in the business. One website I read has a writer who said that the dice don’t have a memory but they have a history. He then says you can bet that history, although he doesn’t say it exactly in those words. ...
