I have wagered on millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 win 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet

Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10

Wager eighty dollar

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
