My Gambling Den Chemin de fer Type Game
I have gambled on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of funds at 21. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the casino.
I still like the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a type of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is centered on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I bet with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I wager the original bet 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 succeed again I take the payout 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 do not win I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and never "chicken out". It gets very thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in a row your bets 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 left a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You must understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 160 dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can NOT deviate and drop your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
