I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
