I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win 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 don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 wager

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

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

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
