I have wagered on countless of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost a lot of cash at 21. The casinos have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a type of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit 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 bet on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this method! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the runs you see wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 table.

Bet $5
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the first five dollar wager

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

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

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

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

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

Bet 40 dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet

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

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

Bet $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of $160

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

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

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result won’t be the same.
