I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings 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 wager 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 four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
