I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of funds at 21. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
