My Casino 21 Type Game
I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once 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 bet 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 bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
