Blackjack Hall Of Fame
The blackjack hall of fame was created to
honor the world's greatest
blackjack players. Housed at the Barona Casino
in San Diego,
California, it was year 2002 when the
committees decided to vote for
the blackjack all of fames. The voting access
is available for
everybody via Internet for several weeks. It
was January, 2003 when the
hall of famers is finally revealed. In this
voting process there are
seven members whom selected from the original
blackjack hall of fame.
Wondering who are they? As you read this
article I will reveal to you
one by one who they are.
Let�s start with Al Francesco and he becomes
popular because of his
natural luck, and outstanding ability towards
the game. And because of
that he created a team for seven card players
and later profit from big
player tactics.
Another one of the hall of famer is Peter
Griffin. Who is Peter
Griffin? He is the one who exposed a course
about mathematics and
gambling, but after just awhile he started on
loosing the game and
decided to step back and rethink his research
and he use all the
resources he has and all of his knowledge to
know and study the
probabilities of blackjack. Then, after he
discovers those things he
wrote a book about it in 1979.
After reading a book about playing blackjack
as a business, which was
written by Lawrence Revere, Thomas Hyland
decided to play blackjack and
because of the knowledge he learned from the
book he created a team of
four players to play for Atlantic City
Casino�s. However, this team was
arrested because of cheating, but the judge
thinks differently when he
heard all the testimonies and decided to rule
under Hyland�s favor.
Another one of the seven original member of
the blackjack hall of fame
is Arnold Snyder, and he develops his
authority by calculating the
importance of deck penetration when playing at
a blackjack table.
Let�s not forget to mention Edward Oakley
Thorp who is an American
professor and used his knowledge, as a
professor, to determine the
house advantage in blackjack. He also used
some methods he developed to
win at roulette.
Ken Uston is one of the original members of
blackjack hall of fame and
he is known to be a master of disguise, well
he learned to disguise
himself because he was banned in almost every
casino and why he was
banned? He is banned in almost every casino
because of some methods
that he used.
Wonging is a method developed by Standford
Wong wherein a player steps
in and out of the game depending on the
advantage of the player or
house. Because of this method many Casino
revised their gaming rules.
Maybe there are some of you who already
familiar with these names, most
especially those people who is aware about
blackjack. I believe that
there are some of you who already adore one of
these guys because of
their tactics when it comes to blackjack.
Well, I totally agree that
these people deserve to be voted on blackjack
hall of fame because of
the knowledge and tactics that they used.
