I have wagered on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the gambling dens when I was 16. 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 lost all kinds of cash at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.
I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the successive hand. If I don’t win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout 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 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 wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the action back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first $5 bet
Wager $5
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10
Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first $10 wager

Wager eighty dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this instance you would be up $315 !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you must NOT alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
