I have enjoyed millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have gambled on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. With all that said I have still spent a lot of funds at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This method is based on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don't win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I profit I take the winnings 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 wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the winnings 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 lower the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your bets go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you see gamble this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the initial $5 wager

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

Bet $10

Wager eighty dollar

Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

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

It's herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can't deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
