Wow, there are lots of gullible people around here. Everyone (well, not quite everyone) is hook, line, and sinker on this whole Frank Scamblete thing. I guess if one is dumb enough to believe in dice control, they will surely fall for this imposter know as Frank.

I have nothing to do with the scam (I think I know who it is behind it) but I predict that tomorrow, which happens to be April 1st, the truth will be revealed.

Then the Wiz must be in on it, cause I think he would
check to make sure it was Frank before he allowed
the name to be used. I'm sure its really Frank.

It's possible, but I don't think it's true. It seemed legit to me, although of course he isn't taking the time to funny up the posts like in the casino mags, but the effort isn't required here or expected.

Hey, it's me; it's me. I plug my books enough that it has to be me. I can understand people disagreeing with me on this or that but cancelling out my very existence? Now, man, that guy is a strong critic!

Before getting into blackjack and craps, Frank Scoblete was an advanced-placement high school English teacher. If our own FrankScoblete is an imposter, then he is a darn good one. I would challenge anybody to find a misspelling or grammatical error in any post under his name. If only I could write so well.

Really EB?

I'd be willing to bet there is no filter as to what username you can use except to prevent duplicates. You could probably sign up as George Bush or Barrack Obama and the process would go through just fine. Or are you under the impression any of the admins here monitor the usernames that people sign up with and go to some trouble to verify those that seem "if-y"?

I have no doubt it's the real Frank. I suppose there is one way he could really prove it to any doubters, Frank could post a picture of himself with a written sign that says "it's really me."

im not sure what this post is about, but is this stating that dice control is a hoax?

I believe in theory its possible to have dice control. a robot arm with exact precision should be able to throw the same exact throw every time. Problem with this is humans are not robots.
I think that if you play long enough you will eventually have some good throws but this is obviously just variance. I dont know where im going with this but i am a little confused by this post in general.

It's all random. Go back to what you were doing. There is nothing to see here.

You are correct, if you believe in the theory that:

Real=Frank -----> Frank=Dice Control ------->Dice Control=possible ---------->Possible=Happens .

It's really that simple.

Look, everybody wants to know if it is possible or not, but nobody wants to do the work to actually learn the truth.

So the answer that we have is that it's all random.

That's all.

Everybody else who has other answers hasn't proven scientifically if it's possible or not.

They have just made claims to benefit themselves for whatever reason without doing the necessary science to prove that it is possible.

That's about the gist of it, anyway. If you haven't lost any time on the subject, I recommend you just move on.

It's me; it's me. Wizard don't bet too much because my hand sometimes moves differently than my mind and errors will occur.

There is no reason for someone to pretend he is me and then defend me when others criticize me. Also, not to take offense when offense is given; if I weren't me to prove that I am me I would come out ablazing against those who are nasty to me. So the me who is really me is relatively calm wouldn't you say?

I can prove I am me if you wish to spend money. I will sell you my five latest books. What do you say about that all you doubters? Why would someone who isn't me give a damn?

i have seen the video on the craps sharpshooters. who knows if its true, they would have to do tests and see what the results are.

of course if they pitted 20 random people vs frank and they ran 1000 trials he should just be right at the average. But if he wasnt at the average people would just say there wasnt enough trials and you have to do millllllions of trials to be correct.

Of course if he wanted to prove he could control the dice he would do this. no idea if he has or hasnt i havent even seen the video/book for years.

it could all be a ploy to sell books/videos who knows.

All i am saying is "yes" it can be done, can frank do it? who knows for sure.

It's April fools day, bro.

Listen, Frank: I posted a couple of bites on your Facebook.

I'm inviting you to come by and visit at my place.

You don't have to shoot on film or anything else. Just come by for a visit and let's chat sometime.

No worries. And I appreciate your coming by the WOV. It's been great fun so far, and that's all we're looking for, right?
