I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 win 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 don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
