I have gambled on countless of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at 21. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered 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, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid 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 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
