I have played millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 win 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 bet. 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 do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Las Vegas I left a game 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 thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 5 dollar wager
Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $10 wager
Bet $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager
Wager 20 dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager
Wager $40

Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original eighty dollar wager
Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
