I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Bet 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 first forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
