I have gambled on countless of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking 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 a lot of cash at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout 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 bet on the table. If I win again I take the winnings 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 bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Las 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 streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
