I have enjoyed millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at chemin de fer. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 win 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 betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 35 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager

Bet five dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

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

Wager $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet

Wager 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

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

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

If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
