I have wagered on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can give up a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager
Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of $20
Bet $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager $20
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager
Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
