I have bet on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still like the game and wager on a regular 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 tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 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 return the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10

Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
