I have gambled on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to defeat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on 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, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to comprehend that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 10 dollar
Wager ten dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Bet $10
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar
Bet $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first $20 wager
Bet $20
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $40
Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Wager $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 wager
If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
