I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way 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 short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. 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 couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
