I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
