I have enjoyed countless of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need 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 aghast at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
