I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout 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 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 four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a number of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You need to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
