My Gambling Hall Chemin de fer Type Game
I have played millions of rounds of 21. I began working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have played 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 spent all kinds of funds at twenty-one. The casinos have made it very hard to beat the house.
I still enjoy the game and play on a frequent basis. Over the years I have enjoyed a variation of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get flush with this method or beat the casino, however you will experience an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the fact that blackjack seems to be a game of streaks. When you are on fire your hot, and when you are not you’re NOT!
I gamble with basic strategy blackjack. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I lose again I bet the table minimum on the next hand again etc. Once I win I take the winnings 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 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 4 times my original wager. I keep betting 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 do not back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you win a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic streaks a few times now. I left a $5 table at the Luxor a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this technique! And a few months ago in Macau I left a game with $1200!
You have to understand that you can say good-bye to a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be surprised at the runs you notice playing this way. Here is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a $5 game.

Bet eighty dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $160
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 160 dollar bet
If you left at this point you would be up $315 !!
It is difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
