I have gambled on countless of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost a lot of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Once I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you witness wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar wager

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

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original twenty dollar wager

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80

Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

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

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

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