I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
