I have bet on countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lose I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard 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 end result won’t be the same.
