I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ 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 60 mins using this method! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
