I have enjoyed countless of rounds of twenty-one. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have played online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at 21. The casinos have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet 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. Once I win I take the winnings 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 wager on the table. If I succeed 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 bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 table.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wager forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

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

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the initial $160 wager

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
