I have wagered on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 bet on the table. If I win 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 do not win I return the action back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager

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

Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar bet

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

Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original $80 bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
