Dum-Dum versus Scobe on Casino Gambling, Part One
Posted by Dum-Dum
Steps to Winning at Casino Gambling
I am not the world’s greatest expert but I have used the information from John Patrick and my personal dice teacher and expert precision shooter who knows more about dice and precision shooting than all the GTC members combined to create this excellent strategies for beating the casinos.
With their help I have put together this ten steps program that if you follow it you will definitely win in the casinos. I can tell you that casino gambling can be beaten but it can’t be beaten if you don’t follow these ten rules. I know that many on this board would wish I would just go away but I paid to be on here and I intend to voice my opinions for all the world to hear. I am actually helping you become winning gamblers so I think I deserve some thank you.
Step Number One: Math is not important to be a good gambler. If I win a bet like the Any Seven, does it matter what the house edge is? No, because I win the money. I get four to one. I bet one dollar and I win four dollars. The house edge means nothing because I have won the bet. That’s just a simple example of how math means nothing in gambling. A winning bet is a winning bet. But the people who are slaves to math would tell you that making a Any Seven bet is a bad move because the house edge is 16.67 percent. Where is the logic if I have won the bet? Who cares what the math was? John Patrick preaches that math is not important in the here and now and he is right. You have to make the right move right now. You don’t have to think of the long run because you aren’t playing in the long run and you will never play in the long run. You are only playing in the here and now. Doesn’t that make sense? My personal dice teacher and the world’s greatest precision shooter also makes bets that have high house edges and he is right. He plays in the here and now, just as Mr. Patrick recommends. With these two guiding my way, it is obvious that math is given too much emphasis in gambling by mathematicians who think they know gambling.
Step Number Two: Trend betting is a winning system if used properly. I have read the criticisms of my trend ideas and I can tell you that you are all wrong. Trends are what makes gambling beatable but you have to know how to handle trends. You have to directly analyze what the trend is and whether it is a good trend or a bad trend. There are hot tables and cold tables. That is a fact that no one can dispute. But you still get people like GTC instructors who say that the table doesn’t matter but that its the shooters who matter. What nonsense. When you are at a cold table, you don’t shoot well. You have all experienced that. So what is that? The table is cold. How hard is that to understand? A good precision shooter knows to get off a cold table and he should look for one that isn’t cold. He will shoot much better at a hot table as will all the random rollers that you call chicken feeders.
Step Number Three: At blackjack, all the so-called experts like Frank Scoblete and his partners like Dominator and Henry Tamburim say that basic strategy should be played at all times. But everyone knows that basic strategy is a losing system. Even these big shot authors know that it is a loser. Yet they recommend that you play it. Does that make sense? How can you recommend a losing system? That means there is a better method of play than basic strategy. What strategy is that? This method, created by Mr. John Patrick, has you splitting your fives, not doubling on eleven against dealer’s sevens, eights, nines, tens, and aces; not splitting eights against dealer’s nines, tens and aces; not splitting aces against dealer high cards. Those are just some of the moves. By playing this way, you can overcome the advantage of the casinos. But none of the blackjack so-called authorities know this or, as I believe, they refuse to recognize this because they are jealous of what Mr. Patrick has created, the ultimate strategy to beat the game of blackjack even without card counting.
Step Number Four: Card counting is over rated. My precision shooting teacher is also a blackjack expert and his theory, which he used on television, is to go with the flow of the cards. When the cards are running your way, bet more. When the cards are running the casinos’ way, bet less. How hard is that to comprehend? But the so-called experts on your site have no idea of this truth about blackjack. So what kind of experts are these? Dummies!!!
Step Number Five: Always quit when you are ahead. How hard is that to comprehend? But all these so-called experts discuss when to leave games and they never just say quit while you are ahead. Are they dumb or what? I have never heard Scoblete, or Dominator, or Howard "Rocker and Roller" Newman, or Billy the Kidd, say, hey, man quit while you are ahead. Now, who’s dumb dumb?
Step Number Six: Don’t believe the baloony that is being slung around here folks. The Captain is not real. I don’t care that GTC people claim they have played with him or been a part of his toupe, or that Dominator claims he has spoken to him. No one other than these people has ever met him! What’s his real name? He is a figment of Scoblete’s imagination and these other GTC people are just lying to make us all believe the Captain is real. The Captain is just garbage. He is sooooo mysterious. What casinos does he play in? Whoooo we can’t know. Why can’t we know? Because he doesn’t exist.
Step Number Seven: The 5-Count is not a winning system. It is a dumb system as I said in another post. It is a silly system as another precision shooter expert has said many times on many sites on the Internet. I don’t care what Dr. Catlin, the so-called MATH EXPERT said about it, it doesn’t work. I don’t want to eliminate other shooters. Think of eliminating 57 percent of the other shooters as Frank Scoblete recommends. How can you ascertain a trend then? How do you know what to bet? You don’t. You have given the casino the edge over you now because of the 5-Count.
Step Number Eight: Trends work in other games as well. When you play roulette or slots even, you can see trends. If a slot machine is hot there is a good chance it will remain hot for a longer period. That is the time to get on the machine and make money. Many of you probably don’t know this but slot machines are actually programmed to have winning and losing cycles. If a winning cycle is happening, you will win time and again. Roulette is the same way. Just look up on a roulette board and you’ll see the same numbers coming up. Bet them. They are hot numbers.
Step Number Nine: People who play in casinos understand casinos. People who screw around with computers don’t know squat about casinos. I have challenged anyone to tell me if Frank Scoblete plays in the casinos. No one has answered me. I don’t think the guy makes a bet! I think he’s one of these computer nerds who lives in a fantasy world of his own making. You all just buy him as this great guru. He isn’t. John Patrick is the guru. They both can’t be right since they have radically different ideas. But Patrick gambles in casinos. Scoblete just writes about them. It’s easy to answer who knows the truth about casino gambling.
Step Number Ten: The other GTC big shot is Dominator who thinks he’s Mister tough guy. Well, I’m ready to bet Dominator my whole bankroll of $4,500 that I can beat him in a game of craps, any time, any where. Are you scared Mr. Dominator? I would of challenged Frank Scoblete but I know he is a chicken and doesn’t gamble in casinos.
I have spent several days writing this and I hope you appreciate the advice that I am giving you here.

I am going to take each of your points one at a time in different posts. (Thanks Dominator for the format!)
Step One
Dum-Dum: Math is not important to be a good gambler. If I win a bet like the Any Seven, does it matter what the house edge is? No, because I win the money. I get four to one. I bet one dollar and I win four dollars. The house edge means nothing because I have won the bet."
Scobe: If you were to make one Any Seven bet in your lifetime and win it and never came back to a casino to play, you would be right. The math would mean nothing. You’d be a long-term winner at a random game because you won that single bet.
Unfortunately, we know you are coming back and so the house edge does mean something because winning that Any Seven bet, the worst bet on the craps table, is also a loser for you and will always be a loser for you if you play a random game, which it appears you do.
If you bet $5 on the Any Seven you received only $20 because the house took $5. You really should have won $25 but the house became your partner in the bet with it’s $5 tax. That’s how it makes its money on these types of bets — the house taxes you a percent of your winnings. So you actually lose when you win.
Dum-Dum: "That’s just a simple example of how math means nothing in gambling. A winning bet is a winning bet. But the people who are slaves to math would tell you that making a Any Seven bet is a bad move because the house edge is 16.67 percent. Where is the logic if I have won the bet? Who cares what the math was? John Patrick preaches that math is not important in the here and now and he is right. You have to make the right move right now.

With these two guiding my way, it is obvious that math is given too much emphasis in gambling by mathematicians who think they know gambling."
Scobe: The 7 comes up enough to show that even your "here and now" philosophy is ruinous to a gambler. If you stay at the craps table for four hours in one day — certainly the here and now, right? — you will witness about 468 rolls of the dice. About 78 of those will be the 7. Now let us say that you bet every roll. You will lose $5 x 390 = $1,950 and win $20 x 78 = $1,560. You are down $390 in just one day.
But what if the "math" doesn’t work out correctly. How lucky do you have to get to overcome such an atrocious bet? Just divide $20 into $390 and you’ll see that you have to win 20 more bets of the Any Seven in one single day to be ahead by a pinch! So the math counts even today despite your beliefs.
Now, an advantage craps dice controller is in a different situation as he is changing the nature of the game on some bets. But even the best advantage players would find it nearly impossible to roll 98 sevens in 468 rolls. And that would be a real waste of time in the here and now for sure when there are much better bets to be made and those better bets are based on the, dare I say this? — they are based on the math of the game.

The Second Step
Dum-Dum: “Step Number Two: Trend betting is a winning system if used properly. I have read the criticisms of my trend ideas and I can tell you that you are all wrong. Trends are what makes gambling beatable but you have to know how to handle trends. You have to directly analyze what the trend is and whether it is a good trend or a bad trend.”
Scobe: Since all gambling deals with decisions, you could make a very strong case that all gambling deals in trends. There are strings of certain numbers showing, certain numbers not showing; inconsistent strings; long streaks, short streaks; choppy streaks. God, you could go crazy identifying patterns of trends. Randomness is incredibly trendy. Check out the number Pi, a completely random number, and you will see trends that will turn your hair gray. The problem with Pi and casino gambling is that nothing is predictable for players who are not advantage players. Someone gave a very good example of a short trend in your “here and now” where three heads were flipped. Will the next one be heads or tails? There is no way to predict this to be more than 50 percent accurate. When you see whatever kind of trend in a casino game there is no way to ascertain whether it will continue or not since there is no causal factor for the trend. (A causal factor will alter what I am saying, obviously.)
If you spend any time at the tables, or any time studying randomness, you know that you will see many weird trends – that’s just how it is. You can choose to bet however you wish to bet because the casino will tax your wins or win more decisions from you. A regular casino gambler cannot get out of that box. It’s the coffin of gambler’s fantasies. If trends could be predicted, most roulette players would win; most blackjack players would too. Most gamblers actually do look for trends – and they have the same result as those gamblers who do not look for trends. They lose. The casino profits are proof enough of this.
Dum-Dum: “There are hot tables and cold tables. That is a fact that no one can dispute. But you still get people like GTC instructors who say that the table doesn’t matter but that its the shooters who matter. What nonsense. When you are at a cold table, you don’t shoot well. You have all experienced that. So what is that? The table is cold. How hard is that to understand? A good precision shooter knows to get off a cold table and he should look for one that isn’t cold. He will shoot much better at a hot table as will all the random rollers that you call chicken feeders.”
Scobe: There are not hot and cold tables. That is just a figure of speech. There are tables where the shooters have – in the recent past – been sevening out quickly. There are tables where several shooters in a row are having good rolls – or bad rolls if you’re a don’t player. I’ve been at tables where shooter after shooter sevens out before the 5-Count (that would be a cold table) and then a shooter gets hotter than hell. I couldn’t predict which shooter it would be if it’s a chicken feeder. It just happened. That’s the nature of random rolls. The only possible reason a controlled shooter might shoot better at a “hot table” is that he is feeling happy and relaxed since he won some money before he had to shoot. Most GTC shooters do not fall for those emotional situations and will shoot as they shoot whether the table was hot, cold or indifferent.

Dum Dum,
You are totally wrong about Frank Scoblete. Sure he’s a great writer, but also a great shooter! I’ve played craps plenty of times with Frank and he has a soft, smooth, throwing technique from stick left and almost always has money making rolls. I’ve seen him have 1/2 hour, and longer rolls too ! Read "The Craps Underground" which are all true stories, especially The Vegas Diaries chapter.
You call Dominator a tough guy, well he may be tough on the outside, but he has a heart of gold. He’s not only a great guy, but also a great shooter. I’ve been on many of his marathon rolls as well.
Open your mind, and learn form us…..Knowledge is power!

fscobe Responds STEP THREE
DUM-DUM: “Step Number Three: At blackjack, all the so-called experts like Frank Scoblete and his partners like Dominator and Henry Tamburim say that basic strategy should be played at all times. But everyone knows that basic strategy is a losing system. Even these big shot authors know that it is a loser. Yet they recommend that you play it. Does that make sense? How can you recommend a losing system? That means there is a better method of play than basic strategy. What strategy is that? This method, created by Mr. John Patrick, has you splitting your fives, not doubling on eleven against dealer’s sevens, eights, nines, tens, and aces; not splitting eights against dealer’s nines, tens and aces; not splitting aces against dealer high cards. Those are just some of the moves. By playing this way, you can overcome the advantage of the casinos. But none of the blackjack so-called authorities know this or, as I believe, they refuse to recognize this because they are jealous of what Mr. Patrick has created, the ultimate strategy to beat the game of blackjack even without card counting.”
SCOBE: Sorry, but almost all systems of gambling are losing systems. The normal blackjack player faces a 2 percent house edge. The followers of the system you recommend face a little more probably. You either make the right move or the wrong move. Take splitting eights against a dealer’s ten. It is a losing hand. It is a losing hand whether you hit that 16, stand on that 16, or split those eights. However, you will lose less money by splitting those eights than by hitting or standing. Splitting fives instead of taking advantage of doubling on a ten against a 2 through 9 is going to cost you a lot of money. When you play blackjack, you must make all the right moves, all the time. The basic strategy does that for you. It reduces the house edge to about one-half percent. No, it is not a winning system and no authority claims it’s a winning system. But would you rather lose one-half percent of all the money you bet at blackjack or four times that much at 2 percent?
Now, someone using the Golden Touch Blackjack Speed Count and optimum basic strategy will have an edge over the casino. All that means is this – when the cards remaining to be played favor the player, we know this and bet accordingly. Speed Count is very easy to learn, much easier than the old card counting systems such as Hi-Lo and KO, but it is also quite powerful.
To review: The basic strategy is a good system of play. Your strategy is a disaster.
STEP NUMBER FOUR
DUM-DUM: “Step Number Four: Card counting is over rated. My precision shooting teacher is also a blackjack expert and his theory, which he used on television, is to go with the flow of the cards. When the cards are running your way, bet more. When the cards are running the casinos’ way, bet less. How hard is that to comprehend? But the so-called experts on your site have no idea of this truth about blackjack. So what kind of experts are these? Dummies!!!”
SCOBE: The simple sounding phrase “go with the flow” is one of the worst ways to play and is one of the reasons why the casinos make 15 percent on blackjack hold. There is no flow of the cards. That is an illusion. You may have won hand after hand and think some kind of flow is happening. No, it just happened; you have no way to know it will continue to happen. The best “go with the flow” betting systems are progressive ones, such as Walter Thomason’s Four-Step System. Unfortunately, while Walter is my dear friend, every major study of progressive betting tells us one thing – it doesn’t work. The player faces the same losses as he always does based on the house edge. Those losses will be differently patterned because you are betting more and less money at any given time but the house edge will hit the total you bet, just as it hits the total everyone else bet.
“Go with the flow” is merely another losing gambling idea in a random game. Even on television the idea lost.
Card counting does work. It can give you between a half percent to (maybe) a 1.5 percent edge over the house, depending on how much you bet in favorable counts, and how good a counter you really are. It is not a road to riches for most players. I have been doing it since the late 1980s and I can tell you from personal experience, it works. Going with the flow, as romantic as it sounds, is a bad marriage.
Dum-Dum versus Scobe on Casino Gambling, Part Three

STEP NUMBER FIVE
DUM-DUM: “Step Number Five: Always quit when you are ahead. How hard is that to comprehend? But all these so-called experts discuss when to leave games and they never just say quit while you are ahead. Are they dumb or what? I have never heard Scoblete, or Dominator, or Howard "Rocker and Roller" Newman, or Billy the Kidd, say, hey, man quit while you are ahead. Now, who’s dumb dumb?”
SCOBE: This is another nice-sounding concept that also holds no water for a variety of reasons. If you are a gambler, it holds no water, period, because the very first time you get ahead, you should quit and never go back to the games. Otherwise, you are just playing one long session. Your whole gambling career is one long session that must end in a loss since you are playing against the house edge. If you play your strategies at blackjack, Dum-Dum, that loss will come four times quicker than an average basic strategy player.
But let’s look at some scenarios for gamblers. I live in New York and I fly the five and a half hours to Vegas. I have been saving my money up so I can play $10 per hand at blackjack. It’s taken me a year to save the money for this gambling trip that will be four days. I get to Vegas. Coming off the plane I am a hungry lion. I decide “what the hell!” and put some coins in a slot machine in the airport. Bingo! I win $6. I am now ahead. Do I cancel my trip and book a flight back immediately?
Let us say, I decide to keep the $6 and go to my hotel. I check in and stroll over to the blackjack tables. I place one $10 bet and win! I am now ahead. Do I quit and spend the next four days touring Liberace’s museum? Do I book a plane home?
Say I decide to actually quit while I am ahead and go home. I now save up my money for next year’s Vegas trip. I arrive in Vegas and win my very first hand of blackjack at $10. I go home again. In the third year, I lose my first hand, and my second hand, and my third hand, and my fourth hand, and my fifth hand. Other than the time frames, what difference does it make that I won a few bets and then lost a few bets? No difference. It’s as if I played those hands in ten minutes. It can be considered one session, too.
Now, if you were to say that after a satisfying session of however long that might be, you find that you are ahead and the thought hits, “Maybe I should call it a night and go to bed with a win,” then quit and go to bed. You’ll sleep well. Or if you have two hours before your plane is departing Las Vegas after four glorious days and you are ahead $10, you might say to yourself, “Let me not play that $10 and now I can actually go home a winner.” That would make some sense.
But just carping on “quitting while you are ahead” is a meaningless, well, carp. About 30-40 percent of casino gamblers are ahead after their first bet. They are not heading for the doors and if you, Dum-Dum, were ahead after your very first bet, you wouldn’t be heading for the doors either.
For advantage players, you play as long as you aren’t tired or emotionally overwrought by a bad streak. As a dice controller, you probably can shoot three to five different times in a session and then the body needs rest. You make intelligent bets the house edge of which you can actually overcome. You never bet an amount that interferes with your relaxation at the tables. (If you are thinking about the size of your bets, you are not focused on the task of shooting properly.)
So Dum-Dum, the phrase “quit while you’re ahead,” sounds good but when examined it just doesn’t hold up.
STEP NUMBER SIX
DUM-DUM: “Step Number Six: Don’t believe the baloony that is being slung around here folks. The Captain is not real. I don’t care that GTC people claim they have played with him or been a part of his toupe, or that Dominator claims he has spoken to him. No one other than these people has ever met him! What’s his real name? He is a figment of Scoblete’s imagination and these other GTC people are just lying to make us all believe the Captain is real. The Captain is just garbage. He is sooooo mysterious. What casinos does he play in? Whoooo we can’t know. Why can’t we know? Because he doesn’t exist.”
SCOBE: We have five people on this board alone who have met the Captain. But you believing whether he’s real or not has no bearing on his existence. However, he plays at the following casinos in Atlantic City: Hilton, Trump Plaza, Wild West, Bally’s, Claridge, Resorts, Taj Mahal and Showboat. He prefers the short tables and he usually shoots SL1 or SR1. If you should meet him, just be polite and don’t say anything that would be misconstrued. In fact, don’t say anything!
Oh, and what is baloony? Is it bologna or a balloon? Or some special combination. You’ve used the word twice now. It doesn’t sound appetizing.
Dominator Responds
Well Dum,
First let me say that I find your posts entertaining. If Frank and I didn’t you would be off. Just keep it civil please. Frank and others have been answering this post, so I won’t take the time to do so. But I will say thank-you for bringing up all these false theories by others. When you write them out, they sound sillier than when you actually read them!
I will answer your challenge statement though. I don’t accept challenges. Why, because I don’t have to! Everyone of the experts you have spoken of, except for JP has seen me shoot and have been on money rolls that I and Frank have had! I don’t need or seek your endorsement. My BR speaks for itself! Tough guy, naw, I’m not a tough guy. No one has ever seen me get mad.
Do me a favor, keep these silly posts coming. They are amusing.

Dum-Dum versus Scobe on Casino Gambling, Part Four
fscobe Responds STEP NUMBER SEVEN
DUM-DUM: “Step Number Seven: The 5-Count is not a winning system. It is a dumb system as I said in another post. It is a silly system as another precision shooter expert has said many times on many sites on the Internet. I don’t care what Dr. Catlin, the so-called MATH EXPERT said about it, it doesn’t work. I don’t want to eliminate other shooters. Think of eliminating 57 percent of the other shooters as Frank Scoblete recommends. How can you ascertain a trend then? How do you know what to bet? You don’t. You have given the casino the edge over you now because of the 5-Count.”
SCOBE: You are right, the 5-Count is not a winning system. What it does is the following:
1. It reduces the number of shooters you will wager on by 57 percent. You don’t want to wager on these shooters because they are most likely random rollers and you will lose money on them. They are also sevening out rather quickly.
2. The 43 percent you do bet on (and you will bet small on these) will make it look as if you are playing the game. That’s important for the pit to see. All the big rolls will be in this group so those who love the action of betting on random rollers, will get their thrills here. In the long run, unfortunately, as Dr. Catlin showed, the house has its edge on you in this bunch as well.
3. You will probably continue to get your full range of comps, as most craps players don’t put up all their bets at once and you’ll look just like a regular player. If you use the Come Betting technique on the 43 percent who make it through the 5-Count, you will appear to be in action much earlier than if you use the Place Betting technique. We recommend Come Betting on all chicken feeders – and keep those bets as low as possible. In the 14 years since Beat the Craps Out of the Casinos was published, I have received only two reports of people not getting their full range of comps using the 5-Count. And, of course, comps aren’t why we play the game anyway.
4. If there are controlled shooters at the table, shooters you don’t know, the 5-Count gets you on them 11 percent more frequently than the play all player. Check Catlin’s report "5-Count Proof" on www.goldentouchcraps.com
Dum-Dum, advantage players should eliminate all random rollers from their game but due to time, personality, or circumstance, many GTCers play with random rollers at their tables. The next best thing to not playing with any random rollers is to use the 5-Count, then use Come Betting on the 43 percent, and bet small on them – table minimums even. On yourself and on controlled shooters that you know and respect, that’s when the large bets should be made.
STEP NUMBER EIGHT
DUM-DUM: “Step Number Eight: Trends work in other games as well. When you play roulette or slots even, you can see trends. If a slot machine is hot there is a good chance it will remain hot for a longer period. That is the time to get on the machine and make money. Many of you probably don’t know this but slot machines are actually programmed to have winning and losing cycles. If a winning cycle is happening, you will win time and again. Roulette is the same way. Just look up on a roulette board and you’ll see the same numbers coming up. Bet them. They are hot numbers.”
SCOBE: I will bet you one dollar per spin of the slot machine reels. If a winning combination comes up, I will pay you one dollar; if a losing combination comes up, you pay me one dollar. Only a fool would take that bet because only between 10 and 20 percent of all spins on a slot machine are winners. That is how the machines are programmed. They have intermittent hits, which stimulate play. So a hot machine is more likely to turn cold than stay hot and a cold machine is more likely to stay cold. In terms of winning money, most slot players are down most of the time. When you face house edges of between 5 and 17 percent, losing is what you can bank on – or rather the casinos can bank on it.
Slot machines have winning and losing cycles all right. When you win, the casino loses. When the casino wins, you lose. Overall, you lose. There is no way to predict a “winning cycle” because the machines select their symbols based on a random-number generator, which is working all the time, even when the machine is not being played. However, since most spins are losers, you can easily predict losing cycles – they are most of the time at the machine.
The modern roulette wheel is pretty much immune to the old “bias wheel” way to get an advantage. However, I too would recommend, if you insist on playing roulette, that you go with a streak rather than against a streak. There is an outside chance – and I mean way outside – that the wheel is off and certain numbers are appearing because of this. If someone put a gun to my head, I’d go with the streak rather than against the streak.
However, in reality, in the world of no biased wheels, which is just about every wheel in America, the numbers are coming up because some numbers have to come up. The math shows us that in 20 spins, the number of spins on a scoreboard, you are going to have some repeating numbers.
For advantage players, there isn’t much hope on slot machines or on a modern roulette wheel. The only way to beat slots is with a hammer. The only way to beat roulette is to be able to predict with a high degree of accuracy which sector of the wheel the ball will fall into. This skill is very hard to attain.
STEPS NINE AND TEN
DUM-DUM: “Step Number Nine: People who play in casinos understand casinos. People who screw around with computers don’t know squat about casinos. I have challenged anyone to tell me if Frank Scoblete plays in the casinos. No one has answered me. I don’t think the guy makes a bet! I think he’s one of these computer nerds who lives in a fantasy world of his own making. You all just buy him as this great guru. He isn’t. John Patrick is the guru. They both can’t be right since they have radically different ideas. But Patrick gambles in casinos. Scoblete just writes about them. It’s easy to answer who knows the truth about casino gambling.”
SCOBE: Over 99 percent of the people who play in casinos ultimately lose in casinos. As you have shown, most of them have no idea of the odds of the games they play; how the house achieves its edge; and why the math of the game determines you to lose.
I did a study about 10 years ago concerning the percentage of blackjack players who knew basic strategy. Only about 10 percent did. That is frightening. You blackjack strategy is even more frightening.
DUM-DUM: “Step Number Ten: The other GTC big shot is Dominator who thinks he’s Mister tough guy. Well, I’m ready to bet Dominator my whole bankroll of $4,500 that I can beat him in a game of craps, any time, any where. Are you scared Mr. Dominator? I would of challenged Frank Scoblete but I know he is a chicken and doesn’t gamble in casinos.”
SCOBE: Dominator is a big shot all right. When he has the dice, he is an incredible shooter. I don’t think he will accept your challenge because we don’t do personal gambling against other players. We just enjoy the casino contest. In fact, I get challenges just about every week from idiots who want me to bet them about this, that or the other thing. There are a lot of crazy people in the world, Dum-Dum, but you know that already.
