I have bet on countless of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first $20 wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
