I have wagered on countless of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of cash at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the fact that blackjack appears to be a game of streaks. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy blackjack. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout 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 wager 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 bet. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this tactic! And a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the streaks you see gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

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

Wager $20
Take $20 paid-out to you, leave the first $20 bet

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

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

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

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

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $160 bet

If you left at this point you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
