I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit 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 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a few days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
