I have enjoyed millions of rounds of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager

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

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

Bet 10 dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar wager

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

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

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

Bet $160
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar 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 occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
