I have wagered on countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose 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 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 four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
