I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed 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 bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you see gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet

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

Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet

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

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

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

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

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager

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

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