I have bet on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit 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 wager 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 four times my original wager. I keep 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 back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend 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 see betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
