I have bet on countless of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent 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 bet the initial 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
