I have bet on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager 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 initial $40 wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
