My Gambling Den Chemin de fer Variety Game
I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
