I have enjoyed millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, 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 21. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 bet 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 wagering 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 do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
