"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 This Book is for Intelligent Players, February 3, 2000
By 
John Macy (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spin Roulette Gold (Paperback)
Frank Scoblete writes for the intelligent roulette player who is not looking for a magic bullet but understands that casino games have built in house edges that rarely can be overcome. None can be overcome with silly money-management systems, although money management is important in order to protect you from going on tilt. Scoblete explores two different approaches to the game of roulette in this masterpiece. The first concerns an analysis of the traditional systems used at the gme. He shows quite clearly why these systems don't work. He then goes on to brilliantly explore other methods of play. Not all of them require 30 or 40 hours of wheel watching to be effective as one reviewer mistakenly submitted. In fact, some take only a few minutes. All are brillint techniques to attempt to turn the tables on the casinos. Scoblete is a master when it comes to realistic strategies and solid writing. Get this book if you have the least interest in roulette!

5.0 out of 5 stars If It's Random You Can't Win, But If It Isn't You Can, March 3, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Spin Roulette Gold (Paperback)
The reviewer from Malaysia didn't understand a fundamental princple of roulette. If the wheel is random there are NO WINNING SYSTEMS. Scoblete explains that in the book and takes a look at all the most popular betting systems that have been developed to beat the game. None work in the long run on random wheels as he shows clearly. However, this book does have winning strategies in it; and it does show how to maximize comps as well. You just have to realize that no reputable author is going to sell pie-in-the-sky winning systems for a random wheel. But Scoblete does the next best thing. He shows you techniques for discovering biases, dealer signatures, big numbers, sector shooters and the like. This is a really well written book and it has thousands of actual-roulette spins recorded so you can play your system without actually risking money. This is a great book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Responsible for losses worldwide, July 10, 2005
This review is from: Spin Roulette Gold (Paperback)
What the author doesn't adress is this book is today's reality:

- Casino's have become very well organised multinational businesses, they are not longer ruled by the mob as in the beginning days.

- Now, suppose you are running a casino, and you would KNOW for certain, if you let your gambling equipment run without maintenance or statistical analysis, some experienced high roller gamblers could step in, and rob your casino for millions of dollars.

- These days, I can tell you first source as my friend is a dealer, all roulette wheels in respectable casino's are statistically monitored with software. So at any time the casino has far more statistical data to watch for bias, more data than at any time a player could collect. As any serious statistician will tell you: the larger the statistical data, the more dependable any conclusion one might make. If a player would observe let's say 100 spins to determine bias before playing this is FAR TOO SHORT to seriously determine bias. I would suggest to serious gamblers they buy a decent statistics book in stead of this.

- Now suppose the casino security (and they have a lot as any casino visitor knows) notices there is a bias. Well, what would they do, would you think: just let the wheel continue to turn or close it down for maintenance or simply (because they have more than enough money coming in) replace it?

This book is written for a time when casino's were ruled by the mob and only thought of making money in the short time. If a reader would be making conclusions to look and play a wrongfully as 'biased' identified wheel, he will loose a lot of money because he is explicitely betting against the law of large numbers (which is the mathematical law that the MIT students used in Blackjack). Or in other words: these days the probability one is playing a balanced are far greater than it would be a biased wheel, in the last case the law of large numbers and probabilitytheory can increase your chances.

Nice to have in your roulette library, but of no practical use these days.
