I have played countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original $40 wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
