I have bet on millions of hands of blackjack. I started working my way into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. Given all that I have still spent an abundance of bankroll at 21. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over the years I have bet on a variation of 21 called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is founded on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of runs. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you are NOT!

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

I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely exciting at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quick. Before you realize it you are betting $100-200per hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Flamingo a couple of years back with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be astonished at the runs you witness betting this way. Below is a chart of what you would bet if you kept winning at a 5 dollar game.

Wager $5
Take $5 paid to you, leave the first $5 bet

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

Bet $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 10 dollar wager

Bet ten dollar
Leave ten dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of twenty dollar

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

Bet twenty dollar
Leave twenty dollar paid to you for a total wager of forty dollar

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Take 80 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial 80 dollar wager

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

Bet 160 dollar
Take $160 paid to you, leave the original 160 dollar bet

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

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