I have played millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
