I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table 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 aghast at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
