I have gambled on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lose I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 bet
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
