I have enjoyed millions of hands of blackjack. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have gambled on online 21, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short while. Given all that I have still spent all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to defeat the game.
I still like the game and play on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have gambled on a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You will not get rich with this method or beat the house, nonetheless you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you’re hot your hot, and when you’re not you are NOT!
I bet with basic strategy vingt-et-un. When I don’t win I bet the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the lowest amount allowed on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager 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 winnings paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I don’t win I lower the wager back down to the original bet.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely fun sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your wagers go up very fast. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a couple of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Flamingo a number of years ago with $750 after 60 minutes using this technique! And a couple of weeks ago in Sin City I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be surprised at the streaks you witness betting this way. Below is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a $5 game.
Bet 5 dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial five dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total wager of $10
Wager ten dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet

Bet 160 dollar

It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can NOT alter and lower your wager or the final result will not be the same.
