I have played millions of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 win 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 don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

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

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

Wager $40
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar wager

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet

Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

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