I have gambled on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, 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 funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or beat 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 match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
