I have enjoyed millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
