I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 return the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
