I have gambled on countless of rounds of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 bet on the table. If I succeed 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
