I have played millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost an abundance of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble 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 flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a table 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 amazed at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here 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 first 5 dollar wager

Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

Bet ten dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20

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

Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $40

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet

Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
