I have gambled on millions of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
