I have played millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
