I have enjoyed 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 twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit 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 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager

Wager forty dollar

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

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

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

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