I have bet on countless of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 winnings 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 don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a few days 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 amazed at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager

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

Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

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

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet

Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

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

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

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

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
