My Casino Vingt-et-un Type Game
I have bet on millions of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 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 four times my original bet. I keep 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 strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
