I have played countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City 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 exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
