I have played countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
