I have enjoyed millions of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
