I have wagered on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed 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 wager on the table. If I win 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
