I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
