I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun 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 few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet

Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet

Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80

Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
