I have bet on countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a few days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
