I have wagered on millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and wager 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 won’t get flush with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

Bet $160

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
