Being a gambler requires money to bet; but to qualify as a topnotch gambler one must be able to contribute to the gambling industry by pioneering a technique or by gaining a profit that is much bigger than the amount bet.
Here are three distinguished casino high rollers:
Stanford Wong, also known as John Ferguson, is believed to be the Godfather of Blackjack, as he supposedly wrote ’Professional Blackjack’. The extent of his notability is unquestionable, especially because his surname has been adapted as a method used in blackjack. The term “wonging” was most evident in the 1980s where players only wagered their own cash when the count was in their favour. The strategy is simply to first observe the play of cards before betting.
Next is Mike Aponte, who won the World Series of Blackjack in 2004. He was a former member of the MIT Blackjack Team, which is comprised of students who have won millions in casinos around the world.
Dave Stann is also famous because of his image as the “bad boy of Blackjack”—he loves to use “psychological warfare” when playing a blackjack table. However, before venturing into the game, he was an actor in Hollywood. He certainly was not playing a role when he won second place in the World Series of Blackjack.
These are some of the superstars in the gambling industry. Gamblers, whether they are players who exclusivly play at online casinos or players who faithfully play in land-based casinos, definitely aim to achieve what these icons have.
