I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 bet
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
