I have bet on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 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 don’t win I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
