I have enjoyed countless of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 succeed 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up 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 guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
