I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings 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 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager
Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20
Bet $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
