I have gambled on countless of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. 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 a lot of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original $10 wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
