I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 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 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
