I have played countless of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online chemin de fer, 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 bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win 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 bet on the table. If I win 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager

Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10

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

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original $80 wager

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
