I have gambled on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout 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 bet 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 bet. 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 do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
