I have bet on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
