I have played countless of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand 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 runs you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
