I have bet on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 lose I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
