I have gambled on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager

Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
