I have gambled on millions of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

Wager $10

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

Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

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

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

If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!

It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
