abstract:Stanford Wong (born 1943) is the pen name of John Ferguson, a gambling author who is best known for his book Professional Blackjack, which was first published in 1975 and is still in print. Wong's computer program "Blackjack Analyzer", initially created for personal use, was one of the first pieces of commercially available blackjack odds analyzing software.
You could read about it in The Big Player by Kenny Uston, Turning the Tables On Las Vegas by Ian Anderson, Professional Blackjack by StanfordWong and Repeat Until Rich by Josh Axelrod.
Wong (now at Stanford University) figured the mutated gene might make an ideal target for a vaccine, as it creates an abnormal protein not seen in healthy cells.
