I have wagered on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit 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 wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout 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 lose I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
