I have played millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 wager 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 bet. I keep 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 disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet 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 first ten dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
