I have gambled on millions of rounds of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on 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 house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

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

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

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

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

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

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet

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

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
