I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, 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 gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
