I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
