I have bet on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have bet on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, however you will have an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the idea that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and never back out. It gets very exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a couple of years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a number of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can relinquish much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a five dollar game.

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

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

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

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

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

Wager $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

Bet forty dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original forty dollar wager

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

Bet $80
Take 80 dollar paid to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

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

It’s hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
