I have played millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. 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 great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal 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. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
