I have gambled on countless of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 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 wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a few weeks ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can lose a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see betting this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Wager $20
Take $20 paid to you, leave the first twenty dollar wager

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

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet

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

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

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

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
