I have wagered on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting 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 never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

Bet $160

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