I have gambled on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This method is based on the fact that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original 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 succeed 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 lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a few years back with $750 after 45 mins using this method! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can say good-bye to much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

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

Bet five dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager 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 left at this instance you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

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