My Gambling Den Twenty-one Variation Game
I have bet on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 wager on the table. If I succeed 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
