I have enjoyed countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
