I have played millions of hands of blackjack. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was sixteen. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of funds at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have wagered on a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I lose I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 four times my original wager. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a few days ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total bet of 20 dollar

Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original $20 wager

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

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

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

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

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager

If you left at this instance you would be up 315 dollar !!

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
