I have bet on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can relinquish a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Bet 40 dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet
Bet $80
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
