I have wagered on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
