I have bet on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, 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 streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial $10 wager

Bet 20 dollar

Wager forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
