I have bet on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens 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 a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 wager 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 lose I lower the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of $40
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
