I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I began 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 time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
