I have wagered on millions of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a type 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 experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout 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 bet on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a few months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

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

Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10

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

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

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

Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 bet

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

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

If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!

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