I have bet on countless of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent a lot of bankroll at 21. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a game of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager 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 win 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 return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original five dollar wager

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

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

Wager $10
Leave $10 paid to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

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

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

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

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

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

Wager $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar bet

If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!

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