I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet 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 keep in play the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Vegas I left a table 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 thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet

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

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

Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

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

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

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

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

Bet $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar bet

If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
