I have wagered on millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue 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 strict and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Wager $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
