I have gambled on countless of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and gamble 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 most certainly will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lose I return the wager back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet

Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10

Wager 10 dollar

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