I have wagered on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager

Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
