I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
