I have gambled on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first ten dollar wager

Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager

Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80

Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
