I have wagered on millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

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

Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20

Wager $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager

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

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

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

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

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar bet

If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
