I have bet on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager 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 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must 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 streaks you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 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 often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
