I have played countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 wager 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 four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You must 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 astonished at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar

Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
