I have bet on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of funds at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a few days ago in Sin City 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 enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $20 bet
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
