I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on 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 blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum 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 succeed 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80
Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
