I have wagered on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original value.
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 know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you see betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first 10 dollar bet

Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of $80
Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
