Insider Blackjack
I have played millions of hands of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online chemin de fer, 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 vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet 10 dollar

Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
