I have bet on millions of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 wager
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
