I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
