I have wagered on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems 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 don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 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 wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at 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 Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
