I have gambled on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at 21. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re 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 lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings 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 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
