Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 66  Molly throws the bones27 August 2013
FROM MOLLY (First Letter): My husband had been reading your books and had created a practice table. I poo poo'ed this, as so many do. Then we went to Vegas for my 40th birthday, as I'd never been. I kept pushing him to play, and so I bellied up to the table and decided to play with him, even though I hadn't a clue what was going on. ... (read more)
Craps betting and a free ace20 August 2013
FROM LAWRENCE: I read a couple of your books but can't find whether you flat bet the Place bets on your own shoot or do you press it up more aggressively. I have a SRR of 7.1 over 1000 practice rolls using the Hardway set exclusively. Would appreciate your insight. FRANK’S RESPONSE: My betting is usually a Place bet on the six and eight plus a Pass Line bet with full odds. ... (read more)

How to treat dealers30 July 2013
I am a firm believer is treating dealers with respect. I think a friendly smile, a hello when you sit or stand at their table, and a calm understanding that the dealer actually knows what he or she is doing, will go a long way in making a table game a good experience for you and, hopefully, for the dealer. ...

Strange letters from stranger people23 July 2013
Most casino gamblers are like most people. They work; they play; they have families, dreams and desires. The intelligence range reflects the intelligence range you see day-in and day-out in our population. Yes, there are brilliant people who gamble and, yes, there are total ploppies who gamble too. I think ... (read more)
Why gamble and why so many casinos?16 July 2013
FROM GEORGE: I know writing to you about this is probably a mistake but here goes. Why do people gamble in casinos? What is the thrill of risking money you have earned at games where you can’t win if you play any length of time? I just don’t get it. FRANK'S RESPONSE: For most players I think it has more to do with an adrenaline rush than any real hope of winning in the long run. ... (read more)
Half craps tables and playing both ends of match play9 July 2013
Dear Frank: I just read your newsletter and thought you might like to know that several Laughlin casinos use these half table setups every day. The Colorado Belle and Edgewater use them in the morning and maybe the whole graveyard shift. The River Palms seems to always use a half table when they have their craps table open (which seems to be only occasionally). ... (read more)
Match play, bad manners and two great casinos in Vegas2 July 2013
Hi Frank: Ref: match play At Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut they wouldn't allow me to place a $10 match play on the Don't Pass line but on the Pass Line it was OK. Why? In the past I was able to do it on all even money bets. Are they getting so cheap that the difference of a 10th of a percent means that much to them? --George Dear George: The casinos can do what they want with match play. ... (read more)
The don't, the buy and the Speed Count25 June 2013
Dear Frank: In the column on April 9 about the person that would not play “don’ts” a few words. A few months ago while playing at the I.P. in Biloxi, it got so bad that ALL FOUR of us were playing the “don’t” only. Even when we had the dice! Everybody was going 3-4 seven-out. Some people walked up and started playing the pass line. ... (read more)
