I have bet on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that blackjack seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original wager 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 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $10

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

Bet $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

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

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

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

Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original $80 bet

Wager 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the first $160 bet

If you departed at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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