I have gambled on countless of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 wager 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 continue betting 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 extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet

Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

Wager $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager

Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80

Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager

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

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

If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
