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!.
