I have enjoyed countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout 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 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 lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 bet

Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

Wager $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

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

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

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

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

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