I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 20 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager
If you departed at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
