I have played millions of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer 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 a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout 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 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 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a number of years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager

Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

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

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

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original $40 bet

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

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

Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

If you departed at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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