I have played millions of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, still 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 are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings 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 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
