I have enjoyed countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a couple of days 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 amazed at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar bet

Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of forty dollar

Wager 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 bet

Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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