I have played millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
