I have played countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent 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 rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever 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 bet on the table. If I win 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 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 strict and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial five dollar wager

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
