I have gambled on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 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 lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 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 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
