I have wagered on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re 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 bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever 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 wager 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80
Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
