I have played millions of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a chart 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 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
