I have played millions of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit 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 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
