I have bet on countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once 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 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 lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand 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 notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first $40 wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
