I have bet on countless of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 succeed 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 don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager

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

Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Wager ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Bet $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 bet

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager

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

Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original $80 bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160

Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 wager

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

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
