I have gambled on countless of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that vingt-et-un appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness gamble this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first $5 bet

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

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

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet

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

Bet eighty dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet

If you left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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