I have wagered on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls 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 short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a few months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
