I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.

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

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager

Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

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

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
