I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as 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 bet 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
