I have played countless of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have enjoyed 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 all kinds of cash at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 succeed 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 wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a few days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 bet
Bet $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial $10 bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 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 to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
