I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at 21. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
