I have enjoyed countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 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 wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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