I have enjoyed countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began 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 spent a lot of bankroll at 21. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ 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 Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
