I have played countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings 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 succeed 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet

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

Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet

Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of $20

Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 wager

Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40

Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet

Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80

Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
