Synopsis
The dazzling, amazing, wonderful adventures of best-selling author Frank Scoblete, the man who beat the casinos for 20 years and was banned from many of them for his winning expertise; who astral traveled to other worlds bringing back proof; the man who successfully handled some of the most eccentric students imaginable during his teaching career and, finally, the man whose first kiss was not like anybody's first kiss ever. This is a hilariously funny but, at times, scary, nail-biting and thoroughly riveting and enjoyable read about someone whose life is indeed stranger and more exciting than fiction., Frank Scoblete's near-death experience in 2007 is an apt metaphor for his life, because even after he received Last Rites he came back, better than ever. This memoir ponders a life well-lived, both inside and outside the gaming world. It shows the flip side of living the life of a successful gamer., Frank Scoblete's near-death experience in 2007 is an apt metaphor for his life, because even after he received Last Rites he came back, better than ever! And not surprisingly, no one was surprised the gambling phenomenon beat the odds yet again. In his riveting memoir, "The Virgin Kiss and Other Adventures", Scoblete ponders a life well-lived, both inside and outside the gaming world. The one-time boxer, playwright, stage actor, and teacher takes off his mirrored sunglasses to show the flip side of living the life of a successful gamer. Bouncing around through his past, Scoblete ponders getting fat, his first kiss, astral travelling, and beating the casinos for 20 years. Scoblete's New Yawk bawdiness also touches on his many adventures growing up on the East Coast, his years as a teacher, and how his career as a winning player came to a head when he was banned from a whole state! Part life manual, part insider guide, this is Scoblete's love letter to a life few ever have the guts to live -- funny, charming and, at times, scary!
