I have played countless of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
