I have bet on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager

Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager

Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

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

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

Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 wager

Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet

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

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

If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
