I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have played 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 an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 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 don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
