My Gambling Den Twenty-one Variation Game
Posted in Blackjack on 12/12/2025 04:25 pm by Cedric
I have gambled on millions of hands of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played 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 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
