I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. 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 spent an abundance of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I win 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 do not win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
