I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
