I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 succeed 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. 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 fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
