I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a number of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10

Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $40 wager
Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and sixty dollar wager
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 must NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
