I have played countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the house.

I still like the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is based on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. As soon as I profit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 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 keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original bet.

I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Vegas I left a game 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 enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

Wager $5
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 20 dollar bet

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

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 40 dollar wager

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

Bet eighty dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original eighty dollar bet

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

Wager $160
Take 160 dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet

If you left at this moment you would be up 3 hundred and fifteen dollars !!

It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you must NOT deviate and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
