I have gambled on countless of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won't get loaded with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you're hot your hot, and when you're not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout 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 win 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager

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

Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

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

Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

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

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

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

It's herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn't alter and drop your bet or the final result won't be the same.
