My Gambling Den 21 Type Game
I have played countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout 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 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
