I have enjoyed millions of hands of twenty-one. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
