I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
