I have bet on countless of rounds of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost an abundance of funds at 21. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the game.

I still like the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have gambled on a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You most certainly will not get flush with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the fact that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!

I play basic strategy twenty-one. When I lose I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial 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 succeed 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 do not win I lower the wager back down to the original amount.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this tactic! And a number of weeks ago in Las Vegas I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the runs you see playing this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar table.

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

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

Bet ten dollar
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager

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

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

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

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

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

Bet $80
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial 80 dollar bet

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 160 dollar bet

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

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
