I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with 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. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
