I have enjoyed millions of rounds of blackjack. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of cash at blackjack. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must understand 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 aghast at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
