I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager

Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of $20

Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet

Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40

Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager

Bet $40
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

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

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet

If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
