I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
