I have wagered on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
