I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 win 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 do not win I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
