Blackjack Strategy

[ English | Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano ]

I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of cash at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. 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 few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet

Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager

Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager

Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40

Bet $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager

Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager

If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
