I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos 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 enjoyed a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

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

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

Wager twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar

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

Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of $80

Wager eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar wager

If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

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