I have played countless of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 succeed 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 lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s 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 will not be the same.
