I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 wager 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 keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize 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 number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a few days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend 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 aghast at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

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

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

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

Wager 80 dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the original $80 wager

Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160

Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

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