I have gambled on millions of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of funds at blackjack. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get loaded with this method or beat the casino, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original 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 succeed 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 action back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very exciting on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 20 mins using this method! And a few months ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

Bet $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the first five dollar bet

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

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

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

Wager twenty dollar
Take $20 paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

Bet 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

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

Bet forty dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of $80

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

Wager $80
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet

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

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