I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

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

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager

Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

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

Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20

Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original $20 bet

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager

If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

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