I have played millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded 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 bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
