I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have wagered on 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 an abundance of funds at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original five dollar bet
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar
Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet
Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar
Wager 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $40
Bet $40
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager
Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 bet
If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!
It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
