I have enjoyed millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
