I have wagered on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
