I have gambled on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings 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 wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial five dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
