I have gambled on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
