I have enjoyed countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have played online 21, 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 money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
