My Gambling Den Chemin de fer Type Casino Game
I have played millions of rounds of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager 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 payout 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 wager 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 wager. I continue betting 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 do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
