I have played countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, 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 funds at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings 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 do not win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.
