I have played countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online 21, 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 chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original $10 bet

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

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager

Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80

Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
