I have wagered on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed 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 lost an abundance of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 succeed 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 don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
