I have wagered on millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based 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’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
