I have enjoyed countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic 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 thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
