I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
