I have enjoyed millions of hands of chemin de fer. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 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 sum.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a few years back with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!
You have to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.
Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet
Wager five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet
Wager $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 bet
Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar
Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar wager
Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid to you for a total bet of eighty dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160
Wager $160
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the final result will not be the same.
