I have played millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 payout 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 do not win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $20 bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
