I have played millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit 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 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet

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

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