I have played countless of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 35 mins using this technique! And a number of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

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

Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager

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

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 wager

Bet 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80

Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager

Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 wager

If you departed at this moment you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
