I have gambled on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was still underage. 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 spent all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still like the game and gamble 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 rich with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit 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 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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