I have enjoyed countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, 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 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 4 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 disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager

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

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet

Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager

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

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

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

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

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

Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager

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

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