I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout 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 wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet

Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet

Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

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

Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar

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

Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80

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

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

Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
