I have gambled on countless of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win 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 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
