I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on 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 cash at blackjack. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings 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 wager 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

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

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

Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

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

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
