I have bet on millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at 21. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to beat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the casino, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 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 don’t win I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you notice gamble this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the first 5 dollar wager

Wager 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 10 dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

Wager 10 dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

Bet twenty dollar
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the initial $20 bet

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

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

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

Wager 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $80 bet

Bet $80
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
