I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have 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 aghast at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
