I have wagered on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I profit 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 bet on the table. If I succeed 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

It’s herculean to go on a run 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.
