My Gambling Den Vingt-et-un Type Game
I have wagered on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 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 wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
