I have wagered on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
