I have wagered on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered 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 lost a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result will not be the same.
