"The Virgin Kiss," the story of Frank's outrageous adventures in and out of the casinos.

Frank grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Our Lady of Angels grammar school. He attended St. John's Prep high school on a full athletic scholarship for baseball and basketball.

Switching directions, Frank attended college on a full, academic scholarship. In college, Frank boxed ("I was pummeled in my last fight. I have no memory of the last seven minutes.") and wrote for the school paper. He majored in history, literature and philosophy.

In 1975, Frank decided to try his hand at acting ("I've always been a ham!"). In 1979, Frank co-founded a professional touring troupe that played dinner theatres, resorts, and charities. From 1979 until he sold his share of the company in 1989, Frank produced, directed and acted in over 50 plays.

In 1986, Frank was researching the lead role for the hit play, The Only Game in Town - the story of a down-and-out gambler in Las Vegas. His co-star was Alene Paone. They went to Atlantic City to research their roles. "I was hooked. I began to realize that I enjoyed the casinos even more than I enjoyed working in the theatre." Alene and Frank toured in the play for four months, fell in love, and married.

In 1989, Frank sold his share of the theatre company and began his career as a gaming writer with articles and short stories for Win Magazine. In the 1990s Frank became a columnist for Casino Player Magazine and Midwest Gaming and Travel.

With the phenomenal success of his first book published in 1991 - which has subsequently become the best-selling craps book of all time - Frank began a successful climb to the top of the gaming mountain. He is now the most well known, respected and sought-after gaming writer and speaker in the country.

He has appeared frequently on television including the History Channel, A&E where his dice control team defeated three casinos in unedited action, also the Travel Channel, CNN, TBS, and the National Geographic Channel, among others. Frank has done hundreds of radio shows throughout the country.

Frank has two very popular websites: www.scoblete.com in association with CasinoCity.com; also www.goldentouchcraps.com. He has a private members-only website as well.

A charismatic speaker, Frank has been featured at many festivals, conventions and schools where he motivates people to get the "winning attitude."

He has also done "Frank Scoblete's Gamblers Jamborees" at many hotels across the country.

He has given talks at bookstores throughout the country, and also at libraries, charitable organizations, at fund-raising activities and at the Learning Anex.

Frank does about 15 private classes a year in craps where he and his Golden Touch team of dice experts teach players how to control the dice when they throw. One casino executive referred to him and his partner Dominator as the "Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid of casino advantage play."

His recent DVD is Golden Touch: Beat Craps by Controlling the Dice which shows over 200 unedited controlled dice throws by Dominator, the world's greatest dice controller, best selling author Bill Burton, gaming expert Jerry "Stickman" and Frank himself.

Frank has been a regular contributor and columnist for over 50 magazines and newspapers in America, Canada, and the Islands. He is widely syndicated on the internet. You can go to www.goldentouchcraps.com for more information about him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining mix, January 5, 2004
This review is from: Craps Underground: The Inside Story of How Dice Controllers are Winning Millions from the Casinos! (Hardcover)
This is not a how to book. It takes you on a trip with Frank Scoblete from the mid-1980s to last April when he played for 16 days straight in Las Vegas. In those years, Scoblete encountered and hooked up with some of the greatest dice players in the world and formed a team called Golden Touch Craps. The book tells the whole story of Scoblete's growth as a craps player from his meetings with the "father" of modern craps, The Captain, to his meeting with the Lee Brothers and Dominator.

There are 20 chapters in the book and each one is a mini-masterpeice. Scoblete doesn't just write about the great wins, however, he is absolutely honest about the sessions that went wrong, the shooters who didn't perform when the chips were down and the cameras were on, and the people who "thought" they had the advantage over the casinos but were in reality just fooling themselves.

The book is funny, some of the chapters had me laughing out loud. There were also some sad and poignant moments.

This is not just a book for craps players or gamblers. It's a book that everyone can enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC BOOK, January 3, 2004
This review is from: Craps Underground: The Inside Story of How Dice Controllers are Winning Millions from the Casinos! (Hardcover)
This book was exciting, interesting, entertaining and gave me a behind the scenes look at some of the greatest casino advantage players in the world. Scoblete is a magnificent writer at the top of his game both in the casinos and on the pages of this book. This is not a how to book but a what happens when you are gifted and work hard to achieve a goal book. You don't even have to like casino gambling to read this book because it reads like a great novel. What really makes it better than most novels is that it is all true. When you are finished reading this book you have new respect for the skill of some players and the great writing talent of the author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!, January 3, 2004
This review is from: Craps Underground: The Inside Story of How Dice Controllers are Winning Millions from the Casinos! (Hardcover)
I haven't read a book that was this great in years. I was rivetted by the writer's style and his stories are just eye-opping. This book reads like a great novel and I was just awed by the fact that these people are actually in the casinos and playing. A must read for anyone who wishes they could win millions from the casinos!
