I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 win 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 do not win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five 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 wager of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
