I have played countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. 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 all kinds of cash at twenty-one. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed 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 bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can squander 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. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
