I have gambled on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a few months ago in Las 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 exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet

Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Bet 20 dollar

Bet forty dollar

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

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

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

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

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

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