I have wagered on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
