I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager

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

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

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

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

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager

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

It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
