I have wagered on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet

If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!

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