"Wonging" in Blackjack is a strategy where a player only participates in the game when the deck is favorable, based on a card counting system. The player tracks the remaining high and low cards to assess whether the odds are in their favor. If the count indicates an advantage, the player increases their bet and joins the game; if the count is unfavorable, they either sit out or leave the table. This method minimizes exposure to bad hands, but casinos may monitor for this behavior and ask players to leave if they are suspected of wonging. It's a more advanced technique that requires good card counting skills and an understanding of casino conditions.

"Wonging" in Blackjack is indeed a sophisticated strategy that involves assessing the remaining cards' composition to determine when to join the game and increase your bets. This technique evolved from the work of Stanford Wong, a famous Blackjack expert.
The concept behind wonging is that by keeping track of the remaining high and low cards, players can make well-informed decisions about when to enter the game. When the count is favorable (indicating an excess of high cards), the player has a higher probability of receiving strong hands like Blackjack or hands totaling 20, thus prompting them to increase their bet and take advantage of the situation. Conversely, when the count is unfavorable, the player strategically avoids participation to minimize potential losses.
Wonging requires both a precise card counting system and the ability to discreetly observe the game until the right moment to join. This approach mitigates the risks associated with negative counts and magnifies the gains when the count is in your favor. However, as you highlighted, casinos are vigilant against wonging and may ask suspected players to leave the table due to its nonparticipation strategy. Therefore, mastering wonging necessitates not only proficiency in card counting but also an astute understanding of casino policies and potential scrutiny.
Overall, wonging is a complex strategy that can be highly effective in optimizing your Blackjack gameplay, but it demands meticulous attention to detail and a thorough comprehension of its intricacies for successful implementation.
