I have wagered on millions of rounds of blackjack. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose 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 bet the original wager 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 winnings 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 lose I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
