I have wagered on countless of rounds of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings 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 bet on the table. If I succeed 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 wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
