I have enjoyed countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager
Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager
Bet twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first eighty dollar wager
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
