I have wagered on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager 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 bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
