I have played countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or beat 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 match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 succeed 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 keep 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 strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

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

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

Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager

Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

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

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

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