I have enjoyed countless of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once 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 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table 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 amazed at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
