I have played countless of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
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 won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment 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 NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
