I have gambled on countless of rounds of 21. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have gambled on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to defeat the house.

I still enjoy the game and play on a regular basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of chemin de fer called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I gamble with basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the winnings 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 wager on the table. If I win again I take the payout paid to me, and if I succeed the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the wager back down to the original value.

I am very strict and do not back out. It gets extremely thrilling on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had awesome runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 45 mins using this technique! And a couple of days ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

Wager five dollar
Take five dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet

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

Wager 10 dollar
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 10 dollar wager

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

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

Bet 20 dollar
Leave $20 paid-out to you for a total bet of $40

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

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

Bet $80
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first $80 bet

Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 160 dollar

Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the first one hundred and 60 dollar bet

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

It’s herculean to go on a run this long, but it can happen. And when it does you can’t alter and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
