I have gambled on countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 bet on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to 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 witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

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

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of $80

Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 wager

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

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

If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!

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