I have wagered on countless of rounds of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win 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 action back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a number of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

Bet $20

Wager 40 dollar

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

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar wager

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

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
