I have wagered on countless of rounds of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet

Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager

Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40

Wager 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager

If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
