I have wagered on countless of hands of 21. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 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 value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
