I have gambled on countless of rounds of blackjack. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have enjoyed online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still lost a lot of money at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Wager $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar bet

Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $10

Wager $10
Take ten dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 bet

Wager 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20

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

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

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

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

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

Wager 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
