I have bet on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this tactic or beat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win 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 do not win I return the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial 5 dollar bet

Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar wager

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

Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar wager

Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the original $80 wager

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

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

If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
