I have bet on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it nearly impossible 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 most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 succeed 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
