Some people play blackjack for excitement, some for cash and a few for excitement and $$$$. It doesn’t matter if you are acquainted with black jack or not, why not try and to bet on a vingt-et-un online game using your computer from the coziness of your condominium?

Now, how can you profit at chemin de fer? You will need to get the upper-hand but to do this you have to memorize the basic black jack strategy as well as the technique of card counting and, you have to apply the data from counting cards to place bigger bets when the advantage swings in your favour and tinier wagers when the advantage is in the houses direction. Apart from that, you should also have enough money to survive the short-term fluctuations that almost certainly will happen regardless of how decent a 21 player you are.

Last but not least you must know how to locate the best games, hide your counting abilities, and be mentally set for many hellish quick losing sessions. It could appear like a backward and bleak task and it is. With practice and persistence however, you can learn to get the core understanding in chemin de fer this way.

If you’re a rookie gambler and desire to play vingt-et-un at a real-world casino, I recommend that you sit toward the third base side of the game table which is on the dealers right. The reason behind this is that it can offer you a little extra time to determine how you should bet on your hand. Despite the fact that this is a excellent location for amateurs, I wouldn’t recommend you to sit at the anchor position which is the absolutely last position. The Anchor person is subject to a lot of worry to make the right play that will rescue the table.

I have wagered on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 win 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet

Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager

Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

Bet $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager

If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
