I have played countless of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
