I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! 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 thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
