I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $20 wager
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
