I have wagered on countless of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, 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 bankroll at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
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 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
