I have bet on millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win 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 wager 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 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this tactic! And a few months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Wager $5
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial twenty dollar bet

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

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

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

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

Wager eighty dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of $160

Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet

If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is iffy to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
