I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or beat the house, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 payout 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 value.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years back with $750 after 20 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

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

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

Wager twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

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

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

Wager $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

Wager eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

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

If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

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