I have gambled on millions of hands of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
