I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, 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 blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire 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 subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings 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 wager 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
