I have enjoyed countless of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. 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 spent an abundance of cash at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the casino.

I still like the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don't win again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager 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 bet on the table. If I succeed 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the bet back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very fun sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Wager ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet

Bet $10
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

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

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

Bet $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial forty dollar bet

Wager $40
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of eighty dollar

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid-out to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar wager

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

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can't alter and drop your wager or the final result will not be the same.
