I have wagered on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation 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 have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
