I have gambled on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings 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 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
