I have bet on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have enjoyed 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 cash at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance 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’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 win 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 do not win I lower the bet 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 a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet

Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet

Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80

Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $80 bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet

If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
