I have gambled on millions of rounds of blackjack. I began working my way into the gambling halls when I was sixteen. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked as part of a team for a short time. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at twenty-one. The gambling halls have made it almost impossible to beat the game.

I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over the years I have wagered on a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get flush with this method or beat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is centered on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I do not win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I do not win again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial 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 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 wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original sum.

I am very strict and never back out. It gets extremely enjoyable on occasion. If you succeed at a few hands in series your bets go up very quickly. Before you realize it you are gambling $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome streaks a couple of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years ago with $750 after 60 mins using this technique! And a few weeks ago in Atlantic City I left a game with $1200!

You need to understand that you can give away a great deal faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more enjoyable. And you will be aghast at the streaks you witness wagering this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar game.

Bet five dollar
Take 5 dollar paid-out to you, leave the first $5 wager

Bet 5 dollar
Leave 5 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $10

Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid to you, leave the first ten dollar bet

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

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

Bet $20
Leave $20 paid to you for a total wager of $40

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

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

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

Wager 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total bet of 160 dollar

Bet $160
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original $160 wager

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

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