I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

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

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar bet

If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
