I have enjoyed millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
