I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
