I have enjoyed millions of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at 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 awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
