I have bet on millions of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win 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 bet on the table. If I succeed 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 wager

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

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
