I have bet on countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on 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 an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
