I have enjoyed countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Bet 10 dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet

Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

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

It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
