I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed 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 spent all kinds of funds at 21. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
