I have played countless of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $5 bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid-out to you for a total bet of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 wager

Wager $40
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first $40 wager
Bet $40
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar
Wager eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial $80 wager
Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
