I have gambled on countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy 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 defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed 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 keep in play 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
