I have enjoyed countless of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first ten dollar wager

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

Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $20 wager

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

Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
