I have enjoyed millions of rounds of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have wagered on online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of cash at twenty-one. The casinos have made it almost impossible to beat the house.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you're not you're NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You must understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the initial five dollar wager

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

Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original ten dollar bet

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

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

Wager 20 dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of 40 dollar

Bet 40 dollar
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $40 wager

Bet forty dollar
Leave forty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of eighty dollar

Wager $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager

Bet 80 dollar
Leave eighty dollar paid to you for a total wager of $160

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

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