I have gambled on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar wager

Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 wager

Wager $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original $40 wager

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
