I have gambled on countless of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos 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 lost an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get rich with this method or beat the house, however you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a match of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave 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 four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

Wager forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take 160 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet

If you departed at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!

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