I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering 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 fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
