I have played millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling dens have made it very hard to beat the game.

I still like the game and gamble on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have enjoyed a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet 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 win again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original bet. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I lower the action back down to the original value.

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely enjoyable sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in series your wagers go up very fast. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Wynn a number of years back with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

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

Bet $5
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet

Wager five dollar
Leave five dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of ten dollar

Wager 10 dollar
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar bet

Wager ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar

Bet $20
Take 20 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first 20 dollar wager

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

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

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

Wager 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the initial $80 wager

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

Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

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