I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager

Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar

Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 bet
Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
