I have gambled on millions of hands of blackjack. I began working my way into the casinos when I was still underage. I have played online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet 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 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 continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this method! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You need to understand that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid to you, leave the original $5 wager

Bet $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of 10 dollar

Wager $10
Take $10 paid to you, leave the first $10 wager

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager

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

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

Wager 40 dollar
Leave 40 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $80

Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar bet

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $160

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and sixty dollar bet

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

It’s herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
