I have wagered on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Sin 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 streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager
Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Wager $20

Wager 40 dollar

Wager forty dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
