I have wagered on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed 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 very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. 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. As soon as I profit 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet

Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager

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

Wager $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet

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

It is hard to go on a run 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.
