I have enjoyed millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 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 value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
