I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet

Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet

Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

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

Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Bet $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet

If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
