I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of bankroll at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 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 don’t win I lower the action back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

Bet $10
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $10 bet

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar

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

Wager $40
Leave 40 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 wager

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $160 wager

If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!

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