I have bet on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at 21. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager 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. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager 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 wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager

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

Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet

Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

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

Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

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

If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
