I have bet on countless of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, 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 chemin de fer. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original bet on the table. If I win 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take $5 paid to you, leave the original $5 bet

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

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

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

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

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

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

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

Wager 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 left at this instance you would be up three hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s difficult to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
