I have bet on countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager

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

It's iffy to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
