I have wagered on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 win 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 bet

Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

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

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

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

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager

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

Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet

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

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

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

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