I have enjoyed millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $20 wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
