I have enjoyed countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played 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 all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next 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 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 4 times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Macau 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 surprised at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager

Wager twenty dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

Wager 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80

Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
