I have learned that I can make a little playing 5-cent machines compared to playing higher denominations that pay less often. Are there any indications as to which machines are going to hit?

Big wins and big losses

3 June 2014
From Jimbo: OK, here is something I am interested in. I saw a guy win 100 thousand dollars last night at craps. That was the most I ever saw someone win. That got me to thinking about you guys who spend your entire lives in the casinos. How much have you seen players win at the games? How much have you seen players lose?

Advantage players and disadvantage dealers

27 May 2014
From Eugene: Mr. Scoblete, I enjoy your articles and look forward to always reading your books. But there is one thing that I do not understand and maybe you can help me with that.
