I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win 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. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 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 do not win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
