I have wagered on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings 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 bet 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 value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
