I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
