I have played millions of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
