I have bet on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager

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

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