I have wagered on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
