I have enjoyed countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit 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 bet on the table. If I win 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 wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
