I have enjoyed countless of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
