I have played millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent a lot of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard 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 twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four 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 bet.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet

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

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

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total wager of $40

Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet

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

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

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager

If you departed at this point you would be up three hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
