I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet 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 spent an abundance of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I lose 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 winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
