I have enjoyed millions of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
