I have wagered on millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have wagered on online vingt-et-un, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. With all that said I have still lost all kinds of cash at vingt-et-un. The gambling dens have made it almost impossible to defeat the game.

I still like the game and bet on a regular basis. Over this time period I have bet on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this tactic or defeat the casino, still you will have an abundance of fun. This method is based on the idea that chemin de fer appears to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you’re NOT!

I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I do not win I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet 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 win 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 bet.

I am very disciplined and never 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 $100-200/ hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Venetian a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a number of weeks ago in Sin City I left a game with $1200!

You must comprehend that you can give up a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice wagering this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a 5 dollar game.

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

Wager 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid to you for a total wager of ten dollar

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

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

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

Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid to you for a total bet of forty dollar

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

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

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

Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager 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 3 hundred and 15 dollars !!

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