I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 do not win I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 table.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 bet

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

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original $20 wager

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

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

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original $160 wager

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

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
