I have enjoyed countless of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the game.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 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 can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
