I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at 21. The gambling dens have made it basically impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers 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 Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 40 dollar bet

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

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

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

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

If you left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

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