I have played millions of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
