I have enjoyed millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings 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 payout paid to me, and if I win 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 don’t win I return the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
