I have gambled on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar bet

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

It is hard to go on a run 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.
