I have bet on millions of hands of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

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

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a number of years ago with $750 after 45 minutes using this method! And a couple of days ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can squander a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $20

Wager 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager

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

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

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

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

Wager 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 original one hundred and sixty dollar bet

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

It’s iffy to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
