I have bet on countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 lose I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet

Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager

Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet

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

Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet

Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160

Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 bet

If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
