I have enjoyed millions of hands of twenty-one. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have wagered on online twenty-one, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a little while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of bankroll at chemin de fer. The gambling dens have made it very hard to defeat the game.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over the years I have played a type of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You certainly won’t get loaded with this tactic or defeat the casino, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is founded on the fact that 21 appears to be a game of runs. When you are hot your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the lowest amount allowed on the next hand. If I lose again I bet the lowest amount allowed on the next hand again etc. As soon as I win I take the winnings paid to me and I bet the original bet again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 succeed 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 do not win I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never back out. It gets very thrilling at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your wagers go up very quickly. Before you know it you are wagering $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a number of times now. I departed a $5 table at the Paris a few years back with $750 after 30 mins using this method! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a game with $1200!
You need to understand that you can give away a lot faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be aghast at the streaks you see wagering this way. Below is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a $5 game.

It’s difficult to go on a streak this long, but it often happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your bet or the end result won’t be the same.
