I have bet on millions of hands of 21. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout 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 value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed 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 can NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
