I have wagered on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager 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 wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $5 wager

Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

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

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

Wager $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

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

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial $160 bet

If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

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