I have played millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of cash at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
