Our guest this week is Stanford Wong. We discuss controlled dice throwing, and his book, Wong on Dice. Bob and I also discuss "scares" which in video poker means near misses of a royal flush, but in blackjack usually involves security guards.

This episode originally aired in Oct of 2011. We welcome your questions - send them to us at gamblingwithanedge@gmail.com, or you can find me at @RWM21 on Twitter or https://www.facebook.com/GamblingWithAnEdge.

Our guest this week is known simply as K.C., and was one of the most fascinating guests we have had. K.C. started as a professional blackjack player, and when he started getting barred he turned to craps. He read Wong on Dice and decided that this was the game for him. He won $1.5 million dollars at craps before the dice started to turn. After losing almost all of that money back he now thinks that he never had an edge. Yet many casinos barred him from playing dice! We also talked about a documentary film he has been working on about his blackjack adventures. That film is now out, and is titled, Inside The Edge.

This is a throwback episode originally recorded in 2017. Our guest this week is Kelly Sun. The media dubbed her the "Queen of Sorts," and her team mates called her a "baccarat machine." You know her as the mysterious Chinese woman behind the Phil Ivey edge sorting cases in London, and Atlantic City. Also on this show is Michael Kaplan, who has written about Kelly for the NY Times, and Cigar Aficionado, and Lori Chang. Lori is a former member of the MIT blackjack team, and friend of Kelly. Kelly sometimes has trouble with English, and Lori came along to help translate, and share a few stories of her own.
