I have wagered on millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on 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 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
