I have enjoyed millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial 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 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 bet
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
