I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 succeed 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 lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

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

Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of 80 dollar

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

Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet

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

It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
