I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 payout 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 lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
