I have wagered on countless of hands of vingt-et-un. I began sneaking into the gambling halls when I was 16. I have enjoyed online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a little while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it nearly impossible to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and wager on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this method or defeat the house, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This method is centered on the idea that chemin de fer seems to be a match of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you are NOT!
I wager with basic strategy chemin de fer. When I lose I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I don’t win again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the winnings paid to me and I wager the initial wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original bet. I keep betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I lose I return the action back down to the original bet.
I am very strict and do not back out. It gets very fun on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had great runs a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this tactic! And a few days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You must understand that you can relinquish a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be aghast at the streaks you notice playing this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager 5 dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the original $5 wager

Wager eighty dollar
Take $80 paid-out to you, leave the first 80 dollar wager
Wager 80 dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the original 1 hundred and 60 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is hard to go on a streak this long, but it does happen. And when it does you can’t alter and drop your wager or the end result will not be the same.
