I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 wager on the table. If I succeed 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 wager

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

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

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

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar wager

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

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

Wager $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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