I have gambled on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
