I have enjoyed countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of streaks. When you're on fire your on fire, and when you're not you're NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don't win I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager

It's hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can't deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
