I have played countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.
I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.
I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It’s iffy to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
