I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, 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 blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once 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 payout paid to me, and if I win 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 strict and never back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
