I have gambled on countless of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, 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 blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
