My Gambling Hall Twenty-one Variation Game
I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
