I have gambled on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
