Frank Scoblete Gaming Guru - Page 9  Big Wins? Or Little Wins?7 April 2024
I am a conservative player and I have become even more conservative in my goals and betting strategies as I’ve aged (beautifully I might add, aging that is). I do not look to make a killing at any game. I want to be able to play for the number of hours that I wish and win or lose, nothing really touches me on an economic level. ... (read more)
Ultimate Bet: King Kong or Tom Cruise?2 April 2024
I think this first column for April 2024 should tackle something that has been troubling me for a long, long (add some more “longs” here) time. I hate the new “tallest skyscrapers” in the world. Yes, I do and I do not repent my feelings. Why? Because I am so, so right! Follow me. These monstrosities mostly ... (read more)
Why We Gamble31 March 2024
The basic question I am asked in my talks boils down to this: “Why do people gamble?” Are casino players playing just to win money? After all, every game has a built-in house edge and almost no players are ahead for their lifetimes of play – so why do we do it? We play knowing our expectation, almost always ... (read more)
What Do You Want?26 March 2024
What do you want to do with your casino playing? Here are some answers to that question: QUESTION: I want to make a living playing blackjack and roulette. What about that? My friends think I am crazy. But isn’t it possible? FRANK ANSWERS: Possible, maybe. Probable? No. Let’s see. If you can count cards ... (read more)
Be Contained and Refrain19 March 2024
Many times, successful casino play is not so much what you do as what you don’t do. You’ve just won three decisions in a row, what do you do now? Do you raise your bet to take advantage of your “good luck” or do you just make your normal-sized bet because the game you are playing, a random game, has a whole variety of streaks and none of them can be predicted. ...

Quit Now!12 March 2024
When should I quit play? A session, a day, a trip? I have a simple solution for me. I quit when I feel tiredness coming on. Time to call it a session and if I have been at a casino-hotel for a week or so, time to call it a trip. I may be ahead; I may be behind but I feel some fatigue? I’m done. These are ... (read more)
Do Not Send a Check!5 March 2024
Some casino players will jokingly say, “Well, I might as well send the casino a check and not go because I can’t beat them.” Or “I should not play when I do go since I will lose my money anyway. Ha! ha!” Are these statements actually funny? Or sarcastic? Or true? Or something entirely else? How’s this as a ... (read more)
Some Players Doom Themselves3 March 2024
The biggest problem that I have noticed about some or many or most casino players is the fact that they are their own worst enemies. How does that fact present itself you might ask? Simply put: the decisions that players make about how to play their favorite games, their betting levels, when they quit play ... (read more)
Casino Odyssey V: What I've Learned27 February 2024
I guess I have played most casino games in the past four decades and I certainly have made a career in the casino-playing world. I’ve had great experiences in the casinos too and, yes, awful ones as well. I have met wonderful people and rotten rats. I’ve had a long career and I am proud of it. My wife has been my greatest partner and without her I’d be without everything I am. ... (read more)
Casino Odyssey IV: Mini Has Become Maxi20 February 2024
The traditional game of baccarat, often called the high-roller room baccarat, was a relaxed, elegant game played at a large table with tuxedo-clad male dealers and evening-gowned female dealers. It was the game of James Bond, over and away ahead of roulette. Players were also dressed to the nines – which was the highest natural number at the game. ... (read more)
