I have gambled on millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
