I have enjoyed countless of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per 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 45 minutes using this technique! And a number of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
