I have gambled on millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at blackjack. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings 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 succeed 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 return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
