I have wagered on countless of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built 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 chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
