I have enjoyed millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander a lot 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. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
