I have enjoyed millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand 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 streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
