I have played countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings 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 return the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
