My Gambling Den Vingt-et-un Variation Game
I have enjoyed countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of funds at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial five dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
