I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Sin City 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 exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
