I have wagered on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a few months 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 exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

Bet 80 dollar

Bet 160 dollar

If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

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