I have played countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at 21. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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