I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
