I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
