I have gambled on countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a number of months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
