I have played countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
