I have bet on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout 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 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Bet 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 initial $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
