I have bet on millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take $10 paid to you, leave the original $10 bet

Wager 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid-out to you for a total wager of $20

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

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

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

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial one hundred and sixty dollar wager

If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is difficult to go on a run this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
