I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on 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 lost all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win 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 wager on the table. If I win 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
