I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet

Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of $10

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20

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

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

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

If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!

It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
