Stanford Wong is an Undisputed Blackjack Expert
Stanford Wong (born John Ferguson) was inducted into the Blackjack Hall of Fame in 2003 along with six other original members. Wong is widely considered to be one of the foremost experts on the subject of blackjack. Like many other blackjack stars, Wong was educated in mathematics and economics and received his PhD in Finance. He began seriously pursing professional blackjack in 1976, sometimes as part of a team. Wong claims he was introduced to playing blackjack by reading Edward O. Thorp's book, "Beat the Dealer," from which he learned to count cards; he waited until he was 21 to put Thorp's words to good use in the casinos.
Wong is a Foremost Authority on Blackjack
Wong is no longer a professional blackjack player; he is an author and blackjack analyst. His masterwork is "Professional Blackjack," which was published in 1975 and is still in print today. Also a computer expert, Wong developed the program, "Blackjack Analyzer," which was originally intended for his own private use but which was publicized and became leading odds-analysis software. More recently, Wong published "Wong on Dice," which introduces a controversial system for winning at Craps. He's written other gambling-related books and he publishes an online report called, "Current Blackjack News," which features up-to-date information about blackjack games around the world.
The Blackjack Hall of Fame Welcomed Wong in Its First Year
Some of Wong's books are considered valuable collector's items; his second book, "Blackjack in Asia," for instance, is valued at over $2,000 today (if you can find a copy). Similarly, Wong's 1980, "Winning without Counting," is valued at hundreds of dollars. Esoteric blackjack terms like, warping, spooking and front-loading are credited to Wong and are mentioned in his book, which is written with the wry sense of humor that he has become famous for. Stanford Wong even has a word named after him - to "wong" means to gain an advantage using a specific Wong-created technique (whereby the player goes from table to table). That alone could have gotten him into the Blackjack Hall of Fame.
