I have bet on countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit 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 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 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a table 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 enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
