I have played millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand 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 streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
