I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

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

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

Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager

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

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

Wager $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of $80

Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

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

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
