I have wagered on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack appears 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 vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
