I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings 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 win 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 bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand 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 streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
