I have bet on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 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 do not win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
