I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of cash at blackjack. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout 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 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
