I have wagered on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 succeed 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
