I have bet on millions of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 succeed 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 lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet
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 first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
