I have played countless of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial 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 succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return 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 series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar bet

Bet 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet

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

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