I have played millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 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 bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up much 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 wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
