I have enjoyed countless of hands of 21. I started sneaking into the casinos when I was 16. I have bet on online blackjack, 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 money at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.

I still enjoy the game and wager on a regular basis. Over the years I have played a variation of twenty-one called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this method or defeat the house, still you will have a lot of fun. This tactic is founded on the idea that 21 seems to be a game of runs. When you are on fire your on fire, and when you are not you’re NOT!

I play basic strategy 21. When I lose I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I don’t win again I bet the table minimum on the subsequent hand again etc. Whenever I win I take the payout paid to me and I wager the initial 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 succeed again I take the winnings paid to me, and if I succeed 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 amount.

I am very strict and do not "chicken out". It gets very enjoyable sometimes. If you win a few hands in sequence your bets go up very quick. Before you realize it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had great streaks a number of times now. I left a $5 table at the Palms a few years back with $750 after 30 minutes using this technique! And a number of days ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!

You have to understand that you can lose much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more thrilling. And you will be amazed at the runs you witness playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would wager if you kept winning at a five dollar table.

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

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

Bet 10 dollar
Take ten dollar paid-out to you, leave the initial ten dollar wager

Bet 10 dollar
Leave 10 dollar paid to you for a total wager of 20 dollar

Wager $20
Take twenty dollar paid-out to you, leave the original 20 dollar bet

Bet twenty dollar
Leave 20 dollar paid-out to you for a total bet of 40 dollar

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

Bet 40 dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total bet of 80 dollar

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

Wager $80
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of one hundred and sixty dollar

Bet one hundred and sixty dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the initial one hundred and 60 dollar wager

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

It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it will happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the final result will not be the same.
