I have played millions of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy 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 end result will not be the same.
