I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
