I have played countless of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played 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 an abundance of bankroll at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win 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 bet 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
