I have played countless of hands of twenty-one. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent a lot of money at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get loaded with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

I bet with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. As soon as 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 payout paid to me, and if I succeed 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 don’t win I return the bet back down to the original sum.

I am very disciplined and do not back out. It gets very exciting sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a number of years ago with $750 after 20 minutes using this tactic! And a couple of days ago in Las Vegas I left a table with $1200!

You have to comprehend that you can lose a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be surprised at the streaks you notice wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.

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

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

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

Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of $20

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

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

Wager $40
Take forty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $40 wager

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar wager

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet

If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!

It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it will happen. And when it does you mustn’t alter and drop your wager or the end result won’t be the same.
