I have gambled on countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 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 don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
