I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
