I have wagered on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
