I have wagered on millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was still underage. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. With all that said I have still spent an abundance of money at vingt-et-un. The casinos have made it basically impossible to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is founded on the idea that vingt-et-un seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout 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 wager 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 four times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the action back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable at times. If you win a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a number of months ago in Atlantic City I left a table with $1200!

You need to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

Bet $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar bet

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

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

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

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your bet or the final result won’t be the same.
