I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
