I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 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 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
