I have played countless of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win 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 wager. I continue 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 extremely enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial five dollar wager

Wager eighty dollar

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
