I have enjoyed millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of cash at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it nearly impossible to defeat the casino.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the successive 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 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can squander much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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