I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 succeed 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 bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 bet
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
