I have wagered on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at twenty-one. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 succeed 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 wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
