I have bet on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or beat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a game 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 thrilling. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet

Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original $10 wager

Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Wager $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager

Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of $40

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

If you left at this moment you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It’s difficult 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 final result won’t be the same.
