I have wagered on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
