I have bet on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, still 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 on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
