I have gambled on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 do not win I return the bet back down to the original value.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years back with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a few months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

It is iffy 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 end result will not be the same.
