I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos 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 played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action 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 a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet

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

Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
