I have gambled on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at 21. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to 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 streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you left at this point 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’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
