I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a type 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 experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager

Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
