I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial 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 win 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
