I have gambled on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea 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 don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished 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 table.
Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original $10 wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of $20
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager

Wager $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
