I have wagered on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout 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 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to 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 aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
