I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, 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 cash at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win 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 wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 4 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 amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row 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 couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
