I have bet on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
