My Casino Vingt-et-un Type Game
I have played countless of hands of 21. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on 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, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings 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 bet on the table. If I win 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
