I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of funds at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 bet on the table. If I win 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 return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
