I have gambled on millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played 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 vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
