I have played countless of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return 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 sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 bet
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
