I have gambled on millions of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
