I have gambled on countless of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial bet 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice wagering this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 table.

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

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

Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet

Bet ten dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial $20 wager

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

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

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

Wager $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original $160 wager

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

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