I have played millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 win 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 bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar wager

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

Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

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