I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet

Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial eighty dollar wager
Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
