I have wagered on millions of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit 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 wager on the table. If I succeed 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 don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak 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.
