I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

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

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

Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet

If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
