I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting 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 back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
