I have played countless of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of funds at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager ten dollar

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

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
