I have played countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 35 mins using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
