I have gambled on countless of hands of twenty-one. I began sneaking into the gambling dens when I was still underage. I have bet on online chemin de fer, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short while. Given all that I have still lost all kinds of money at blackjack. The gambling halls have made it very hard to beat the game.
I still enjoy the game and gamble on a regular basis. Over this time period I have played a variation of blackjack called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get loaded with this tactic or defeat the house, still you will have an abundance of fun. This tactic is built on the idea that blackjack appears to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy 21. When I don’t win I wager the table minimum on the next hand. If I lose again I wager the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. As soon as I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the original wager again. If I win this hand I then keep in play 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 win the next hand I leave it for a total of 4 times my original wager. I continue betting this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I lower the bet back down to the original sum.
I am very disciplined and do not "chicken out". It gets extremely thrilling sometimes. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quick. Before you know it you are gambling $100-200per hand. I have had fantastic runs a few times now. I departed a $5 table at the Luxor a few years ago with $750 after 30 minutes using this method! And a couple of days 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 streaks you notice gamble this way. Below is a guide of what you would bet if you continue winning at a five dollar game.
Wager five dollar
Take $5 paid-out to you, leave the first 5 dollar bet
Wager 5 dollar
Leave $5 paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Wager $10
Take 10 dollar paid-out to you, leave the original $10 bet

Bet forty dollar
Take $40 paid to you, leave the original forty dollar bet
Wager 40 dollar
Leave forty dollar paid to you for a total bet of 80 dollar
Bet eighty dollar
Take $80 paid to you, leave the first eighty dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave $80 paid to you for a total wager of one hundred and sixty dollar
Wager one hundred and sixty dollar
Take one hundred and sixty dollar paid to you, leave the first 1 hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up $315 !!
It’s hard to go on a run this long, but it often happen. And when it does you can’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
