I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting at times. If you succeed at 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 great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80

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

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

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

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

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