I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
