I have wagered on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep 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 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 betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

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

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet

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

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
