I have enjoyed countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout 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 wager 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 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. 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.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
