I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at 21. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
