I have played millions of hands of 21. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
