I have gambled on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to 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. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

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

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
