My Casino Blackjack Type Game

I have played countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away much 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 chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 wager

Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet

Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 wager

Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
