I have bet on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you see betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
