I have played countless of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

Wager ten dollar

Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 bet

If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!

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