I have bet on millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, 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 cash at 21. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
