I have wagered on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
