I have gambled on millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at twenty-one. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 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 lower the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar bet
Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
