I have played countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep 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 disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
