I have enjoyed millions of hands of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 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 lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar

If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
