I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10

Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
