I have enjoyed countless of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
