I have bet on millions of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. 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 never back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this moment 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 must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
