I have wagered on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 wager
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first $40 wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
