I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 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 keep betting 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 strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 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-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
