I have bet on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
