I have played millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 lower the wager back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar
Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
