I have played millions of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 four times my original bet. 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 never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend 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 amazed at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
