I have played millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, 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 casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. 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 MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
