I have bet on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
