I have played millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive 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 keep in play 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 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
