I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have enjoyed 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 cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
