This Guy Knows How to Win...WONG! 
2007-07-25
I read this dirt bag book, followed the four rules (seen below), and lost all my money, my job, my wife and children, and my dignity. I recently realized something on the bus back to my one room apartment in the projects (my ex won't let the kids see where I live, and the courts ruled agaist me too...due to the gambeling)...Wong wouldn't be trying to make money selling this book if his techniques were worth a hoot. The casinos should pay Wong for writing this book...and they probably do.
Now I'm reading a book on guns.
(1) make the appropriate playing decision (e.g. hit / stand);
(2) bet more when odds favor that you will win;
(3) have a sufficient bankroll available; and
(4) play enough rounds
Might be the best on the subject 2007-03-17
No matter what level of counting skills you have, this will always be a great refference for life. Detailed technical information backed by multiple simulations, too bad this great book got less reviews than some scammers did (John May).
Great book 
2007-03-09
Great book. Only book that mentions half counting method. Similar to many high level where you give double the points for cards that give u better odds. Like counting 5 as a 1point and 2 as a half point. (Can just double if you don't like half points). Anyway, just remember, that you will not become millionaire just because you can count. In fact, you might not even make a cent if you can count cards. Big fat myth spread by the casinos, not players. However, counting cards will give you a slight advantage. How slight, 1%-2%. But, that doesn't take away from the fact that you'll LOSE less money counting cards, and some days you might even win some. This book is a good resource. Not the best counting system, since there is no such thing, but any counting system is good. Go read several blackjack forums before purchasing any books. Be realistic folks. I count for fun and for getting comps, not to make money.
Wong is a Blackjack Master 2007-03-06
Stanford Wong has done a lot for the followers of the blackjack advantage-play movement by writing this book. It is an oldie but still goodie because it covers just about everything you need to know about the Hi-Lo (or High-Low) card counting system.
Wong is a master of the math of the game and many questions about the math behind why card counting works are answered in such a way that just about any reader can understand it.
A definite blackjack addition to your library. Even if you decide that the Hi-Lo is too difficult a card counting system to use, the ideas in this book will make blackjack play on the winning side that much more enjoyable and interesting.

Blackjack Bible 2006-11-10
This was the best money I have ever spent on a book. What this book lacks in anecdotes and tales of the road, it makes up for in no nonsense powerful blackjack with the numbers to back it up. Wong is truly one of the the inovators of the game with a practical, yet precise novel of how to beat the best game a casino has to offer. His strategy charts and math was concise and easy to read, yet when studied, provides for an enlightening study course of blackjack. If you are a blackjack player and consider yourself to be serious at it, or you want to become serious and take your game to a much higher level, then this is THE book for you. Start here and the others seem insignificant.
Excellent! 2006-03-05
Anything written by Stanford Wong is worth reading. Professional Blackjack is no exception. This book is the best resource that I know for those using the Hi-Lo system of counting cards. Wong carefully explains the system, and backs up his research with loads of computer analysis. He provides strategy tables for basic strategy, and a myriad of other strategy tables for all sorts of different rules. This is the sort of book that keeps blackjack pit bosses awake at night!
a true bible 2004-09-28
if you'll read only one book in blackjack this is the one!
the book is very orginized and consice. it gets right to the point of each subject.
I simply love this book. I take it with me to every trip (just in case) and read it just for fun. I think I reread it 10 times.
I read so many other books in blackjack. (no one is close).
If you intend to be a good blackjack player you must have this book. period
Amazingly Indepth & Great Analysis of Blackjack! 2004-01-22
We don't call him "The Honorable Stanford Wong" for nothing. He completely encompasses the breadth of blackjack, all the ins and outs, how to count cards (the different schools of counting too!) and if you didn't already know, basic strategy and its variations in unusual arenas. I went into reading this book knowing just basic strategy -- I came out with a complete understanding of the game! This is a CRUCIAL book to have if you have any serious interest in blackjack as more than just a recreational activity. The jargon CAN get a little heavy and involves some mathematical theories I never learned, but it was helpful in explaining a lot of things missing from general, "at the table" blackjack training. It truly is THE BIBLE of blackjack.
What else do you need to know? 2003-12-04
What else do you need to know besides this: 1 - Wong has been one of the top blackjack players for quite a long time. 2 - This book contains tables and data for just about every possible permutation of blackjack that you will come across in most casinos. 3 - There is _no_ serious blackjack player out there that has not read this book. Any other questions?
