I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at 21. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 win 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet
Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
