I have bet on millions of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings 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 wager 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
