I have wagered on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed 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 payout paid to me and I wager the original wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet 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 four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Bet ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager
Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager 20 dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80
Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and sixty dollar bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
