I have wagered on countless of rounds of twenty-one. 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 lost an abundance of money at 21. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that vingt-et-un 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 twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum 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 leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout 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 don’t win I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
