I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
