I have wagered on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
