I have played countless of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered 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 cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
