I have wagered on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 win 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 do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
