I have enjoyed millions of rounds of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have enjoyed online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of money at blackjack. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I wager with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager 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 succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the original twenty dollar bet

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first forty dollar bet

Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

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

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

If you departed at this point you would be up 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
