I have played countless of hands of 21. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at 21. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the casino.

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

I gamble with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence 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 left a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a few days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet

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

Wager forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $40 wager

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you left at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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