I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings 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 bet on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
