I have wagered on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original amount.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you see betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.
Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager
Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar
Wager 10 dollar

Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial $80 bet
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
