I have bet on millions of rounds of twenty-one. I started working my way into the casinos when I was 16. I have played online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this tactic or beat the casino, still you will experience a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent 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 keep in play 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 bet. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the bet back down to the original amount.
I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets extremely fun at times. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this method! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager ten dollar

Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 80 dollar
Bet 80 dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the initial eighty dollar bet
Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of $160
Bet $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar wager
If you left at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is iffy to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and drop your bet or the end result will not be the same.
