I have bet on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of cash at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.

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

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give up 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 chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

Bet $5
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

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

Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar wager

Wager 20 dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Wager $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 bet

Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

If you departed at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

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