I have enjoyed countless of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at 21. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of $20
Wager twenty dollar

Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Wager 40 dollar

Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
