My Gambling Den Twenty-one Variety Game
Posted in Blackjack on 06/09/2007 11:42 pm by Alex
I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
