I have bet on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won't get flush with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you're not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don't win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win 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 wager 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely exciting at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
