I have played countless of rounds of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Wager $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first twenty dollar bet

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

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

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

If you left at this instance you would be up $315 !!

It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
