I have gambled on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit 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 bet 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 lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
