I have played millions of rounds of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 wager

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

Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
