I have wagered on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager 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. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I win 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 return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
