I have played countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
