I have gambled on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

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

Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10

Wager 80 dollar

If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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