I have gambled on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 wager on the table. If I succeed 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 don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per 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 60 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20

Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
