I have bet on countless of hands of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, 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 bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation 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 experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10
Wager $10

Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
