I have gambled on countless of hands of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years 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 beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original sum.

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

You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 wager

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

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
