My Gambling Den Vingt-et-un Variety Game
I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend 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 runs you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $10
Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $20 bet
Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
