I have gambled on countless of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
