I have played millions of hands of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of cash at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 bet

Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 bet
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
