I have bet on millions of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the casinos when I was still underage. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of money at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is built on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy twenty-one. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the original 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 4 times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you win a few hands in series your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Macau I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can squander a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

Bet five dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

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

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

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

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

Bet $40
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $80

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

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

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first $160 wager

If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!

It is herculean to go on a run this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
