I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet 160 dollar

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

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
