I have enjoyed countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win 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 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
