I have enjoyed millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled 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 an abundance of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.
Bet five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar wager

Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar

Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It is hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
