I have wagered on millions of hands of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
