I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit 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 bet on the table. If I win 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 bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet
Bet 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 original forty dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
