I have enjoyed countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at 21. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

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

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet

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

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

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

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