I have gambled on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 bet 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 wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar

Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Bet $40

Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
