I have wagered on millions of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 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 back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160
Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
