I have wagered on countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like 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 will not get rich with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings 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 bet 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 four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager

Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

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

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

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first $80 wager

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet

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

It is hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
