I have bet on millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 succeed 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 wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
